The OCTA-CAPTURE unit will be the timing master.
2. Specify the sampling frequency
(VS-100 Owner’s manual p. 52, VS-700 Owner’s manual p. 80)
* When using two units, they cannot be used with the 192 kHz setting.
3. Switch on the power to the OCTA-CAPTURE.
4. In the Utility section on the OCTA-CAPTURE, turn VS-EXPAND
on (OCTA-CAPTURE Owner’s manual p. 60).
5. Set the OCTA-CAPTURE to the same sampling frequency as
the VS-100/VS-700 (OCTA-CAPTURE Owner’s manual p. 68).
6. In order to digitally synchronize the two units, use a coaxial
cable to connect the OCTA-CAPTURE’s COAXIAL OUT (9/10)
to the VS-100/VS-700’s COAXIAL IN (9/10).
* If the Utility section’s DIGITAL setting is turned o, the sampling
frequency will not switch. Change the VS-100’s DIGITAL setting to
“AUTO” (VS-100 Owner’s manual p. 55)
