master, slave

That's pretty good.

There was an article in one of the local free newspapers. The boys were complaining that there was a shortage of Tops. Seems that everybody wants to be a Bottom.

Weird world. That aligns with my observation that the vast majority of any tribe wants a strong leader to tell them what to think and do.

It never meant anything to me, because I never knew or want to contemplate the difference.

These are the times that try mens' holes.

Sort of. I'm thinking that we only need to send two events to the slave boxes.

Install now the last set of values that you received over ethernet or USB

and

Synchronize DDS generators.

We'd send the sync when the master DDS phase accumulator rolls over. The slaves would clear theirs.

I don't think we need to phase lock clocks, if we resync the DDSs fairly often. The local XOs will be close, and the output frequencies are low, a few KHz. Nobody will notice a few ns of phase jump if we force-clear a slave DDS phase accumulator to correct a little drift.

Boss and paid employee?

Master/Secondary

I bet you even think he and she are proper terms. /s/

Mikek

conductor/musician

duck/duckling

ant/ant/ant/ant/ant/ant

... actually, in electronics, the 'conductor' and 'ant' are too ambiguous. You could go for goose/gosling, though.

Krw likes to think so. Krw can't think very well, and is prone to making obviously and absurdly self-serving assertions.

Krw prefers his delusion to reality. Always.

Any tribe that will accept John Larkin as a member.

There are tribes that are mostly composed of people who can think for themselves, but they do tend to reject gullible twits like John Larkin, or at very least make them uncomfortable by pointing out when they are being gullible twits.

I used to call Donald J. Trump a buffoon.

I have amended that to be more specific, as I should have all along... too goddamned late, the bastard f***ed up the entire globe.

DANGEROUS BUFFOON

THAT is what Donald J. Trump is.

It seems that even The Donald knows that you're always wrong.

How would krw know what Donald Trump knows? Donald Trump doesn't seem to kn ow all that much, and lies about what he does know. Krw doesn't know enough to be aware of these remarkably obvious facts, which doesn't stop him from ventilating his fatuous certainties here.

Controller and worker?

What is more interesting is the protocol and hardware to make them truly in sync even when allowing for propagation delays between the boxes.

If I did use other terms, they would have to be not obviously PC.

I won't have problems using master/slave with my customer base. But some radical recent grad may attack us some day.

Fortunately, I'm synchronizing KHz sine waves now. Nobody would notice a microsecond or two of time offset or phase jump. I don't even need to phase-lock the clocks in the various boxes.

If you have multiple tiers (as the world's time standards do) it naturally extends to that also: Tier 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Each tier having some defined variation/jitter from the one above.

Clifford Heath.

Probably for trying to be absurdly politically correct.

I don't even believe that you suffer from age discrimination. You're just too obviously too bitter for anyone to abide your presence. Almost every time you post here you advertise your bitterness... and you wonder why you haven't been hired anywhere for more than a decade? And get more bitter...
