Two 5132 synchronization

Hi All
 
Could I synchronize two NI new USB-scopes?  I checked the web info and know it provides a SYNC terminal.
So I would be able to  send a trigger signal into SYNC terminal and trigger a 5132, however, could I share the
clock between them? 
 
USB-scope is a good idea, but I need more than 2 synchonized channels.
 
Thank you

Hi Kirika,

 

The 5132 has one PFI terminal.  It can be used to receive an external sample clock or external digital trigger.  It can also be used to export a trigger from the device.

 

You can synchronize 2 devices by sharing an external sample clock **OR** by exporting a trigger from one device and to another.  Since there is one PFI terminal, you can’t combine the two methods.

 

What are your synchronization requirements?

Hello,

 

I similar problem, but to synchronization 4 units of 5132 using external clock , the PFI1 port cannot read the input signal from the function generator.#';
