Managing Synchronization

Managing Synchronization

There are two synchronization methods used for measurements:

³

The fast sync, which implies that only a fine-tuning is done from the
last measurement. This is the default method.

³

If the fast sync is switched off, the software performs a coarse sync
every time, which takes more time, but is convenient when tuning the
signal frequency continuously during the measurement, for example
when optimizing the signal frequency of a ring laser.

To activate the fast sync option:
1.
From the main window, select the Utilities menu.

2. Select Synchronization options.

3. Specify whether you want fast or slow sync.
