Overview
Timing is an essential element to all test, control, and design applications and should be a key consideration in any system. It defines the measurement capabilities of systems and is constrained by variables such as proximity. Timing and synchronization technologies allow the correlation or coordination of events in time and maximize the value the system provides. The end goal may be to time system events to a known standard or to time events relative to or in response to one another.
