4. Listen to the playback of any wave file and note which Lynx L22 card is generating
the audio signal. In this case, the card generating audio is adapter 1.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, for “Lynx L22 2 Play 1”, “Lynx L22 3 Play 1”, and so on
until all Lynx L22’s in your system have been identified.
The next step is to choose which Lynx L22 will act as a master. This choice is based on
preference only, but for ease of connection it makes sense to choose a Lynx L22 that is
on one end of the PCI slot array on your motherboard.
Cable Connections
Starting with the master Lynx L22, insert the plug on one end of a Lynx Internal Clock
Cable into the CLOCK OUT header, until it clicks and locks into place. This header is
polarized to ensure the correct orientation of the cable plug. Insert the plug on the free
end of the cable into the CLOCK IN header, on the nearest slave Lynx L22. Connect
each slave in a similar manner. Refer to the figure below.
Alternatively, if clock connections are made externally using the SYNC IN and CLOCK
OUT connectors on the L2Sync cable, use BNC cables to make connections between
cards in the same sequence as described above.
Mixer Settings
With the clock connections in place, the sample clock settings of each Lynx L22 must
be adjusted using the Lynx L22 Mixer.
For the master Lynx L22:
1.
Select the master Lynx L22 from the Mixer pull-down menu.
2. Select a desired Sample Clock Source.
3. Select a desired Sample Clock Reference.
For each slave Lynx L22:
1.
Select the slave Lynx L22 from the Mixer pull-down menu.
2. Set the Sample Clock Source to Header if internal clock connections are used or
External if external clock connections are used.
3. Set the Sample Clock Reference to Word.
