# What is the Synchronized Readers option?

In Single, Burst, Continuous, and Self trigger modes, it is possible to synchronize image acquisition on multiple devices using the synchronization interface.

Synchronization allows using one shared strobed illumination to expose all sensors simultaneously. You can synchronize up to 16 readers, with optionally triggering them in a defined sequence to avoid that opposing readers blind each other. Note that synchronized triggering only supports external illumination on the dedicated connector.

Note that this and other imager settings will not get synchronized by this mechanism - for example, you must configure exposure and gain on each reader individually. This feature only synchronizes the actual image acquisition, triggering happens through the existing Multi-Reader Sync mechanism.

To set up synchronized acquisition on DM503, enable Synchronized Exposure on the Multi-Reader Sync pane. Set the Acquisition Delay (μs) (relative to the received signal through the synchronization interface) on each reader individually to optionally define an exposure sequence in case the illumination of some readers might affect other readers.

You must also set which two readers on the ends of the synchronization interface bus are bus terminators by checking the End of Sync Cable checkbox for the currently connected devices at the end of a sync cable.
