Master - Slave

Master - Slave

This function allows you to select a single instrument as the Master and a second as the Slave. Once started in this mode, a measurement taken from the master instrument will trigger a corresponding measurement from the Slave. The point measurements and the lag time (in seconds) will be displayed with each measurement.

An optional Best-Fit alignment can also be performed as part of this utility by checking the Locate one of the instruments check box. When you press the Done button, after measurements have been taken, this will close the synchronized measurement utility and automatically open a Best-Fit dialog allowing alignment of the selected instrument.

Polling

Polling provides even more options for synchronized measurement applications. It allows multiple instruments to be selected at one time and opens a master control dialog to trigger measurements.

Measurement requests from SA are handled separately from measurements triggered directly in the instrument interface. For example, discrete tracker measurements use a specific measurement profile that can be found under Settings>Tracker>SA Interaction>Measurement Requests>Single Point Parameters.
