Triggering Synchronization Of Multiple Usb 3.0 Devices Using Isochronous Timestamp Packet

In test and measurement, synchronizing multiple devices to timely coordinate data acquisition is crucial. This is due to the limited number of channels on a single device and the need for mixed-signal channels. Currently, various techniques have been proposed for triggering and synchronization am...
