Notes
To set the module to Slave mode, you would need to set this property to "true". When the module is in Slave mode, waveform generation can only begin with the GUI/API using the restart command or with an external trigger using the SYNCI SMA connector on the physical board.
To set the module to Master mode, you would need to set this property to "false". When the module is in Master mode, waveform generation begins with the GUI/API using the restart command or with an external trigger using the TRIG SMA connector on the physical board.
In either Master or Slave configuration, please remember to set the loop count to a non-zero value with the loop_count property if you want to use the module in Burst mode. If loop_count is set to "0" then the module will be in Triggered Continuous mode.
Please note that Slave mode is only available to customers who have purchased the multi-module option.
