Synchronization and time lag The instrument and each wireless module have a clock used for sampling data. Plug-in units use the instrument’s clock as the basis for sampling. During measurement, differences in sampling timing will develop gradually between wireless units and plug-in units, and between individual wireless units, because the instrument and wireless units keep time with different degrees of precision.
