The SyncLink concept has been specially developed to follow the same star network topology as Ethernet. This allows SyncLink and Ethernet cables to follow the same path. The SL21 is a dual function VMEbus board comprising a Gigabit Ethernet switch and a SyncLink synchronization clock distribution hub.
The SL21 VMEbus board can be inserted into all Mainframes as an integrated Synchronization Engine for building distributed acquisition systems in any combination.
