Output On/Off Synchronization

	Synchronizing Output Turn-on Delays	100
	Synchronizing Multiple Mainframes	103
	Operation	104
	This chapter discusses output on/off synchronization. This function
	lets you accurately synchronize output turn-on sequences by letting
	you specify a common delay offset, which serves as a reference point
	for the user-programmed turn-on delays.
	This same reference point also makes it possible to connect multiple
	Agilent N6700-series mainframes together and program accurate
	turn-on sequences across multiple mainframes.
	There is no need to specify a delay offset when outputs turn off.
	Outputs start executing their turn-off delays as soon as an output Off
	command is received.
	The output turn-on synchronization function is only available on Agilent
NOTE
	N6700B, N6701A, and N6702A mainframes with firmware revision C.01.01 and

up. To upgrade your power system with the latest firmware revision, go to http://www.agilent.com/find/N6700firmware.

Agilent N6700A mainframes with the 4-pin digital connector do not support this function.
