Sync Connect a digital reference signal from a master clock source to one of the sync inputs. Be sure to select this as the sync source when configuring the DF66.
Failover System The Boot and Diagnostic screens show two DSP Cores as DSP Core 1 and DSP Core 1A. The DSP core ID settings configure the designation. (See “General Settings” on page 9.) DSP Core 1 boots as the active core, DSP Core 1A is redundant. If DSP core 1A is not detected during boot, the failover option will be disabled (grayed out) in the GUI. The Failover switch (SH612) is controlled by the SC262 System Computer via a RS232-to-RS422 converter.
