Note:
Stop recording time may not be on the last sample recorded.
Stop recording timestamp is showed in both Trigger In 1 and 2, independent if the trigger
was set on Sync In1 or Sync In 2, this is because the signal comes directly from the Awinda
Station, independent of the line used.
Trigger Indications can be exported to ASCII using the exporter and selecting the Trigger In 1
and / or Trigger In 2 in the preferences menu.
Reset timer resets the timer of the sync events (the amount of milliseconds shown in the
Trigger In events when the data is exported. The exported sample counter, always exported
as the first column will not be reset.
In any synchronisation situation, there should only be one master. It is necessary to elect a
master, either one of the connected Awinda Stations, or a third party device.
11.8.4 Synchronising Two Awinda Stations
Using more than one Awinda Station per MT Manager is possible. While the data received
from each MTw to each Awinda is perfectly time synchronised, the time synchronisation
between the Awinda Stations themselves, running in MT Manager has not been tested. One
way of ensuring good time synchronisation between the Awinda Stations is to use two
separate PCs, connect each Awinda Station to a given PC and synchronise the Awinda
Stations as with a third party device.
