Choose a Control Master

The first step in setting up a Pro64 network is to decide which Pro64 device will be the Control Master. A Pro64

network always has one Control Master and one Clock Master. The Control Master is in charge of network‑wide

settings, channel/Slot management, Virtual Data Cable allocation, error messaging, etc. The Clock Master controls

the network sample rate and can allow the use of external word clock sources if 6416dio Digital I/O Modules or

AllFrame devices are part of the network. Any I/O device can be the Control Master, but only one Pro64 device

may be in control of the network at a time.
