Trigger Synchronization using a Newport XPS Series Motion Controller

Download Whitepaper
In electro-optical experiments or automated test and measurement systems, configuration of multiple instruments is often required to perform a series of synchronized tasks. A common challenge of integrating multiple instruments into a setup is the difficulty of controlling each of the instruments at a precise timing, either simultaneously or in a specific sequence. When a setup requires high accuracy and throughput motions, an ability to synchronize tasks of the motion controller with other instruments becomes of a key importance. This technical note describes trigger synchronization methods of multiple instruments using a Newport XPS universal motion controller and provides examples of specific configurations.
