Note: When using STX Sync cards, you need to manually specify the order of the chained units. To
match your unit sequence to the address for each unit in the Select Device dialog, click the
pull down tab under the Order heading (on the right side) and select unit numbers: 1 for
Unit 1, 2 for Unit 2, and so on. This determines the order in which the cascaded ports appear in
the trace. When using the CATC Sync cards the order is automatically detected.
IMPORTANT! Power up all units before starting the software.
1.10.4 Cascading with CATC SYNC Expansion Cards
You can cascade up to eight Sierra Analyzers, if they all have a CATC SYNC expansion card.
