Dear community,

I would like to know if the USB X6 has its own clock/time source or if the USB X6 gets its timing source from the host computer where the USB X6 is connected to?
If it has its own clock, it will drift over time in comparison to the host's clock. Is there some kind of way to synchronize both clocks (via HW or SW)?

Thank you in advance!

The USB Drivers synchronize every x ms the system time of the device (tick counter) with the device driver on the PC (so you have a minimal drift over x ms.)
Also in the USBx6, all 6 Channels use the same tick counter and are synchronized with a hardware sync line.

Thank you very much for your explanation!
