The star hub module allows the syn-
chronisation of up to 16 MI boards. 
It is possible to synchronise boards 
of the same type with each other as 
well as different types.

The module acts as a star hub for 
clock and trigger signals. Each 
board is connected with a small ca-
ble of the same length, even the ma-
ster board. That minimises the clock 
skew between the different boards. 
The figure shows the piggyback mo-
dule mounted on the base board 
schematically without any cables to 
achieve a better visibility.

Any board could be the clock ma-
ster and the same or any other 
board could be the trigger master. All trigger modes that are available on the master board are also available if the synchronisation star hub 
is used.

The cable connection of the boards is automatically recognised and checked by the driver at load time. So no care must be taken on how to 
cable the boards. The programming of the star hub is included in the standard board interface and consists of only 3 additional commands.
