Overview - Multiple Frames Configuration
modules, or, you can qualify it's arming by a Port-In signal. Also, if the
analyzer module is a 16715 and newer module, it can be combined in a
Group OR Trigger.
To configure Multi-frame into the Group Run Arming Tree, select the
Multi-frame Icon, then select the desired arming option from the list
that appears. The following information describes how Multi-frame
operates with the available arming options.
Group Run
The Multi-frame icon allows an analyzer in one frame to Arm analyzer
modules in other frames. In the Group Run Arming Tree of the frame
containing the analyzer that will trigger first, connect the Multi-frame
icon to the analyzer module (middle frame shown below). Next, in the
Group Run Arming Tree of all other frames, connect the Multi-frame
icon to the "Group Run" field, then connect all other modules to the
Multi-frame icon.
Arming between frames can only be done to one level as just described.
That is, any one frame can only directly arm any number of other
frames via the Multi-frame connection, but frames can not be daisy-
chained in a sequential arming configuration. In the figure below,
analyzer 2 triggers first and starts the arming signal flow.
Group Run armed by Port-In
A Group Run can be started by a signal coming in through the Port-In
connector on the back panel of the frame. The Port-In control dialog
can be found in both the System window and the Intermodule window.
