Before startup
All instruments in a multi-Instrument configuration must be connected properly before powering on the instruments. If the
configuration is changed after the instruments are powered on, a system restart may be required.
If an instrument is not connected in a multi-instrument configuration, the instrument powers on in its stand alone mode, not multi-
instrument mode.
UltraSync
™
bus cable
An UltraSync bus cable will connect any multi-instrument configuration capable instrument.
All cables must be connected to the instruments prior to power up. A restart will be required if the instruments are turned on
before the cables are connected.
