Introduction
Synchronization via an NTP server
Each QuantumX module can synchronize its internal clock with an NTP server. The NTP
time is distributed to all other modules via FireWire.
It is possible to achieve accuracies in the 100 μs range, although this depends on the
relevant Ethernet utilization.
Modules that are in proximity to each other should be synchronized by FireWire.
If the synchronization source for a module is changed to NTP, the system must be restarted
once. catman
