Just wondering for those who have multiple Aardvark Q10 units hooked up what kind of cable I use for the word clock outputs and inputs? It does not say in the manual.

May 06, 2006 09:08 pm They sync together via the internal clock, no cables needed.
They also sync very badly I might add. I've had 3 work with no problems for about 4 months, now they're not working together at all with V bad jitter problems. I'm in the process of buying an apogee big ben to sync them....

I have manuals at the asg.hopto.org site
looks pretty easy, but I only have 1 Q10 which I don't use anymore...
May 07, 2006 10:00 am I've tried the BNC cable sync, didn't make a bit of difference. I was trying to read the pdf manual, but my kick *** computer won't install adobe acrobat.

May 07, 2006 10:55 am in the aardvark control panel you have to set the sampling rate to INT on the first Q10 and then WC on the others.
May 07, 2006 08:58 pm The others seemed to change changed with what ever I set.
Also, when I set Aardvark 1 to master, it would default to aardvark 2.

May 07, 2006 09:22 pm I'm guessing since you have so many BSODs that you have a major hardware conflict and it's affecting the Q10s. I already ordered my word clock wire and when that comes in I'll let you know how it goes.
May 07, 2006 10:12 pm Sorry, didn't really answer your question haha. Standard BNC cables, not sure of the measruements.
I'd be keen to know how it goes. Cheers.
May 11, 2006 03:56 pm i have an aardvark q10 pro, and my friend is offering me his old one so i can have 2. only thing is he doesnt have the card or cable... anyone try this word clock thing out yet?
