In time-related applications, it is important to determine which clock will be used as the primary time reference for all other clocks, and then to understand how to transfer the time from that reference clock to the others.<\/p>\n

The best solution is to use a special timing reference clock, or master clock. The method by which the accuracy of the master clock is transferred to another slave, or secondary clock, is known as \u201csynchronization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, GNSS satellite signals are utilized for synchronization to ensure accurate time, but other references such as embedded atomic clocks can also be used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is a Master Clock?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Master Clocks take one or more precise timing reference signals as inputs, then convert and distribute those timing references to other devices to improve their accuracy.<\/p>\n

Master clock systems are used in a variety of applications and industries, including:<\/p>\n
