+ | # Octoclocks | ||
+ | |||
+ | A hierarchy of octoclocks allow the reference and timing distribution to all USRPs in CorteXlab. All cables are of same length (5m between master and slave octoclocks and 10m between slave octoclocks and USRPs). The connection layout is as shown below. The octoclock 0 is the master and the octoclocks 1-4 are the slave ones. | ||

+ | The octoclock produces a PPS signal that has a period of 1s and remains high during 200ms and low 800ms as shown below: | ||
