[etherlab-users] distributed clock offset ?

[Yan Prochazka]

Follow up:

it seems that, for whatever reason, the master writes not correct values 
to slaves system time offset registers (0x0920).
I *think*, if those would be correct, then master and slaves clocks will 
by in synchronization and SYNC0 pulses should occur at time passed to 
ecrt_master_application_time() adjusted by sync0_shift_time used in 
ecrt_slave_config_dc() call. Am I correct ?
