  • Page 18: Sychronization Of Quantumx Modules

    Introduction Sychronization of QuantumX modules To enable measurement signals to be synchronized for processing and analysis, they need to be synchronously measured. All QuantumX modules can be synchronized among themselves. This ensures simultaneous measurement on all channels. All the analog-digital converter rates, measuring rates and bridge excitation voltages are also synchronized.
