Final time alignment can require adding I/Q or trigger delay. However, once synchroni-
zation is achieved, the master-slave mode ensures reproducibility of triggering, if the
used waveform, sample rate and cabling are not changed.
Test setup
Regarding the synchronization signal, the instruments can be connected (cascaded)
in a star configuration (see Figure 9-2) or in a daisy chain (see Figure 9-1).
Additionally, all instruments in the setup have to use the same reference frequency.
You can distribute the internal reference frequency of one of the instruments, regard-
less if master or slave, to all other or supply all instruments from an external reference
frequency source.
