Multi-Device Synchronisation Module
The Multi-Device Synchronisation Module corresponds to the MDS tab in the LabOne User Interface. In essence, the module enables the clocks of multiple instruments to be synchronized such that timestamps of the same value delivered by different instruments correspond to the same point in time, thus allowing several instruments to operate in unison and their measurement results to be directly compared. The User Manual gives a more comprehensive description of multi-instrument synchronization, and also details the cabling required to achieve this.
Multi-Device Synchronisation Module Node Tree
The following section contains reference documentation for the settings and measurement data available on the multi-device synchronisation module.
Since these settings and data streams may be written and read using the LabOne APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) this section is of particular interest to users who would like to perform measurements programmatically via LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, .NET or C.
DEVICES
Read, Write String None Defines which instruments should be included in the synchronization. Expects a comma-separated list of devices in the order the devices are connected.
