Synchronize multiple instruments
The AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator provides the ability to synchronize multiple
arbitrary function generators.
In many applications, more than two channels of waveforms are needed to stimulate the DUT’s. For
example, to simulate the voltage of a 3-phase power line system, three channels are needed. If
current on the lines are also needed at the same time, then there will be six channels in total.
The instrument can synchronize multiple instruments to provide this functionality.
NOTE. To synchronize two instruments you must stop running output signals.
To synchronize multiple AFGs:
1. Select Basic.
2. Swipe the arrow at the bottom up and select Multi-unit sync tab.
