A Sierra M6‐1 analyzer includes a built‐in Sync port on the back panel (between the USB

Figure 1.3

To connect two Sierra M6‐1 analyzers, plug the ends of a Micro‐D Sync cable [AC031XXA‐
X] into the Sync ports.

You must connect each of the analyzers to the host machine using the USB port or
Ethernet port.
Note:
Before connecting, stop all recording. However, you do not have to turn power off.
For Sierra M6‐1 analyzers connected by Sync cables, the SAS/SATA Protocol Suite
application automatically synchronizes their recording timestamps, starts, and stops.
