3.3.8 EXT REF Connections

EXT REF connections between multiple Hosts is supported through two QMA type

female connectors mounted on the System card. One of the jacks is designated as the

IN port and the other jack is designated as the OUT port. The EXT REF interface allows

Hosts to be connected together (in daisy-chain fashion) and clocked through a single

source.

Use the following procedure to connect EXT REF interface cables between multiple

Hosts:

488 Connect one end of the EXT REF interface cable (accessory) to the EXT REF OUT

port on Host #1.

When using the 10 MHz external reference clock the signal must be connected to the

Host before enabli

ng the clock source in the software. If there isn’t a working external

clock source when you configur

e external timing, the optical sync at the Remote will be

lost and all traffic will stop flowing.
