Combining synchronization functions
It is possible to configure multiple synchronization functions on the MTi. This can be useful if you need
to synchronize multiple devices, e.g. a GPS device (providing a 1 pulse per second (PPS) pulse), an
MTi-300 and an external camera that needs 0.2 seconds to make a picture.
In this example, you could use the GPS pulse to synchronize the clock of the MTi with the GPS clock
(use Clock Bias Estimation), but you also need to know the timing difference between the GPS and
MTi (so connect the 1 PPS to Trigger Indication as well: the 1 PPS trigger will be inside the MT Data2
packet). If you need orientation at a different rate than the camera images, you can send the Interval
Transition Measurement (SyncOut) at a SkipFactor and with an offset to give the camera time to make
the picture.
