TRIGger:MODE MASTer<n> configures a module as a master. The eight TTL trigger lines (TTLT0-TTLT7) on the VXI backplane allow four different pairings as shown in Table 2-2 (MASTer0 - SLAVe0, MASTer2 - SLAVe2, MASTer4 - SLAVe4 and MASTer6 - SLAVe6).

NOTE You must select an unused set of TTL trigger lines for the master-slave coupling when determining which master mode to set. Do not use a TTLT line already used by SAMPle:SOURce or TRIGger:SOURce.

TRIGger:MODE SLAVe0 configures a module as a slave to a MASTer0 module. MASTer0 and SLAVe0 modules share TTL trigger lines TTLT0 and TTLT1. TTLT0 carries the sample signal and TTLT1 carries the trigger signal. Table 2-2 shows all pairs of TTL trigger lines for each master-slave mode.

Example: Master Module Configuration

Figure 2-5 illustrates a module configured as a master module. TRIG:MODE MASTer0 pairs TTLT0 (sample) with TTLT1 (trigger). The MASTer0 module will function with all SLAVe0 modules.
