Recording Synchronization
This section explains the optional recording synchronization function of the LX multiple units. The LX Navi
establishes a master unit and up to 3 slave units connected with the recording synchronization cable within
the total of 10m (as of June 2007) for recording synchronization recording.
■ You cannot use the IEEE1394 interface model and the Ethernet interface model mixed for the recording
synchronization.
■ If you use the IEEE1394 model of the LX and you need to update the LX Navi, update the device driver to
the latest available release.
■ Synchronized reproducing operation cannot be done, but a standalone reproducing operation of a master
unit can be done.
■ When recording, the same settings of sampling frequency, quantization bits number, and recording
media (Memory, PC Card) should be applied for both of the master / slave units. Also, when controlling
the master / slave units by one PC (starting to run multi-LX Navi for multi-PC for synchronization
recording), specify the directory or file name without overlapping.
■ Each trigger condition can be specified to the master unit only. Not to the slave unit.
■ When controlling the master / slave units by one PC, the operation at a maximum sampling frequency, or
the settings saving function of the LX Navi, might be limited in use.
■ In the case of synchronization recording, start to run the LX Navi in the sequence of master unit, slave 1,
slave2, ・・・, and quit them to terminate the LX Navi of master unit in the reverse of the starting order.
■ Use the optional LX Ｖｉｅｗ PL-S1001 wave monitor software or the AFC NEO PL-S1002 file converter
software to merge the multiple files recorded.
■ Keep the numbers of the main windows open in the slave units to a minimum or the real time monitor
cannot be processed, depending on the sampling frequency selected.
■ Specify 5 sec or more as the interval to wait before recording (For media recording, many more seconds
may be required).
■ Take 30 sec or more to start recording after changing the sampling frequency.
