Integration and System Considerations
Synchronization

Synchronization occurs when two or more measurement devices operate in step with a common Reference clock. You can synchronize NI signal generators with other instruments, including digitizers and digital I/O devices, or you can synchronize several signal generators with each other.

For an overview of synchronization, refer to Think Synchronization First to Optimize Automated Test at NI Developer Zone.

For information about synchronizing multiple NI 5421/5422/5441 signal generators, refer to Multiple Module Synchronization.
