Output On/Off Synchronization Appendix D
Model N6705A User’s Guide 143
NOTE
This is different from using the All Outputs On/Off key because the All Outputs
On/Off keys will turn all outputs on or off, whether they are configured to
participate in an output on/off delay sequence or not.
2. Specify the Delay Offset
This step is optional. You can use the delay offset that is
automatically calculated by the firmware and displayed in the Max
delay offset for this frame field.
To program a different delay offset, first change the mode to Manual.
Then, set the delay offset to the longest minimum delay offset of all
the modules that you will be coupling. If you program a shorter value,
you may experience improper synchronization across all outputs.
Note that you can also program a common delay that is longer than
the maximum delay offset of the mainframe. You may choose a longer
value to make your program flexible for future configurations that
may have modules with longer delay offsets.
3. Specify the Turn-On Delays for the Coupled Outputs
Turn-on delays can be specified for all coupled outputs. Any delay
sequence can be implemented. There are no restrictions on what the
sequence is or what output comes up first.
Coupling Multiple Mainframes
The output on/off delay function can be used across multiple Agilent
N6705A mainframes that have coupled outputs. Each mainframe that
will be synchronized must have at least one coupled output.
1. Configure the outputs on each mainframe as described in steps 1
through 3 of the previous procedure.
2. Set the delay offset of each individual mainframe to match the
largest delay offset of the mainframe group.
3. Connect and configure the digital connector pins of the
synchronized mainframes as described in this section.
