Overview of DS SYNC64

In many scenarios, oscilloscopes with four channels or above are required. However, for most oscilloscopes in the current market, most oscilloscopes can provide at most 4 channels and no synchronous clock interface for the external input is available for most of them.
For those users who demand for multi-channel synchronous data acquisition, DS SYNC64 synchronization module can be used as the trigger source of the oscilloscope to connect the output interface to the EXT trigger input terminal of the oscilloscope to realize synchronous trigger for multiple oscilloscopes. It can be used for channel calibration. Connect the coaxial cable to the input terminal of the analog channel of the oscilloscope to calibrate each analog channel. In this way, multiple oscilloscopes in cascaded connection can achieve synchronous data acquisition to improve the reliability of the measurement results.
DS SYNC64 has 64 analog channels, and each DS SYNC64 supports up to 64 sets of oscilloscopes in cascaded connection.

To Use DS SYNC64 Synchronization Module

General Inspection

1 Inspect the packaging
If the packaging has been damaged, do not dispose the damaged packaging or cushioning materials until the shipment has been checked for completeness and has passed both electrical and mechanical tests.
The consigner or carrier shall be liable for the damage to the instrument resulting from shipment. RIGOL would not be responsible for free maintenance/rework or replacement of the instrument.
2 Inspect the instrument
In case of any mechanical damage, missing parts, or failure in passing the electrical and mechanical tests, contact your RIGOL sales representative.
3 Check the accessories
Please check the accessories according to the packing lists. If the accessories are damaged or incomplete, please contact your RIGOL sales representative.

Procedures for Using the Synchronization Module

1. Connect the synchronization module to the standard power adapter and then
connect it to the AC power. The AC power specification for DS SYNC64 is 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz. Please use the specified power adapter to provide power to the synchronization module.
2. After being connected to power, the power indicator lights on. This indicates
that the synchronization module is launched normally.
3. Connect the single-route trigger signal to the front-panel SMA input interface.
4. Connect one end of the phase match cable set to the SMA output interface, and
the other end to the EXT input interface of the oscilloscopes that need to be triggered synchronously. Select EXT as the trigger source of the oscilloscopes. Then, the multiple oscilloscopes can be triggered synchronously.
