WaveRunner 6 Zi / HRO 6 Zi 8-Channel Synch
Installation and Set Up
Master and Slave Selection
You can select any model of the WaveRunner 6 Zi and HRO 6 Zi family of oscilloscopes as the Master. This
is also true of the Slave units. It’s recommended, however, that you use oscilloscopes with the same
bandwidth and the same 8-bit or 12-bit vertical resolution. This will maintain signal integrity, and appro-
priate measurements and analysis results, between all 8 oscilloscope channels.
Installation and Set Up
To set up the WR6Zi-8CH-SYNCH on your WaveRunner 6 Zi or HRO 6 Zi Oscilloscopes:
1. Designate one instrument as the Master and the second as the Slave. On the Master, enable the soft-
ware key code, named 8CH-SYNCH. You do not need to enable this option on the Slave.
2. Ensure Master and Slave are running the same firmware version.
NOTE: All 6 Zi oscilloscopes used with WR6Zi-8CH-SYNCH should be running firmware version 6.9.x.x or
later.
3. Physically connect the Slave to the Master using both the LBUS and LAN cables provided.
LBUS
The LBUS cable locks the Slave Reference Clock to the one on the Master. Additionally, it transfers Slave
waveform data to the Master. Insert one end of the LBUS cable into the LBUS connector at the lower-
right of the front panel on the Master and the other into the same port on the Slave.
NOTE: You can plug-in the LBUS cable when the instruments are already on.
LAN
The LAN connections are used for communication between the Master and the Slave. Connect a LAN
cable (either standard 802.11 or the provided crossover cable) from the Master to the Slave using the Eth-
ernet ports on the side I/O panels. Alternatively, you may choose to establish communication by con-
necting both the Master and Slave directly to a router or network adaptor.
