Synchronizing Sources

You can use synchronization to simultaneously perform operations
(for example, wavelength adjustments) on many IQS-2400 WDM Laser
Source modules. The sources can be synchronized with a signal coming
from an external instrument or from an other IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source.

To synchronize your source module with another instrument:
1.
Connect a BNC cable from

³

the external device to the Sync. In TTL port of the first source
module.

OR

³

the Sync. Out port of the synchronizing IQS-2400 WDM Laser
Source to the Sync. In TTL port of the sources to be synchronized.

2. Use a BNC-T connector between each Sync. In port if more than one

source needs to be synchronized.
