To Interconnect SPGUs
If multiple SPGUs have been installed, connect the SPGUs by using the following
parts. See Figure 3-7.
• SPGU-SPGU connection cable16493Q, (number of SPGUs-1)×2 ea.
• SMA open cap, 4 ea.
F
igure 3-7 SPGU Module Connection Example, Four Modules
If multiple SPGUs have been installed, connect the SPGUs as shown in Figure 3-7.
This connection makes it possible to perform the synchronous output by the
multiple
SPGU channels. In this figure, the master SPGU is the module which
outputs the reference signal and the slave SPGUs are the modules which follow to
the reference signal.
The Trig Out terminal must be connected to the trigger input terminal of the external
equipment to make the sy
nchronized operation of it.
CAUTION Connect the Ref Out/In, Sync Out/In, and Trig Out terminals to the specified
terminal properly. Connecting to the other terminal may result in damage to the
SPGU.
