Synchronizing Multiple StrainBooks
Up to four StrainBook/616 units can be synchronized to each other via their SYNC ports. Each unit has
two identical SYNC ports. Either or both SYNC ports can be used to connect to the units via SYNC cables
CA-74-1 or CA-74-5 (1-foot or 5-foot cables, respectively). The units can be scan-synchronized and
triggered from any other SYNC-connected unit.
