Hello I need to synchronize two measurement boards through a wireless connection. Is it possible through bluetooth? Any advise how to do that?

Or keeping the time result accurate? Are you looking for something similar to NTP (the Network Time Protocol)? Ed (to give you much more advice than that, I would have to charge you.)

Hello again The goal is to synchronize two or more measurement boards that shall start to sample X samples when receiving the "GO" signal. The GO signal should be transmitted by the master system and all boards should be listening for it simultaneously. All the boards should start sampling the first sample within 1mS. The starting points of the first samples are important. "Ed Prochak" <edprochak@gmail.com> skrev i meddelandet news:4c45f691-44ef-466d-b734-2689b379c814@v53g2000hsa.googlegroups.com...

You should probably look at protocols like NTP, TTP, IEEE1588, PXI and LXI. <http://www.lxistandard.org/> <http://ieee1588.nist.gov/> <http://www.ttp.com/> <http://www.ntp.org/> <http://www.pxisa.org/> These links should prove useful to you. If you can get near to a TCP/IP arrangement then one of these should help a great deal. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
