Hi Dan,
I have to ask.. if all four syncs are the same, why are there four of
them? ;)

hi randy,
the sync outputs from the adc yellow block are a copy of the signal that
is injected into the adc's sync input SMA connector. (in your case, the
1 PPS signal). all four syncs are identical.
to know which adc sample is taken on the 1 second tick, one needs to
calibrate by looking at a known source on the sky, or by coupling the 1
PPS signal into the analog input. this offset can change everytime the
boards are powered up (there is a divide by four counter in the adc).
best wishes,
dan

Given the following scenario...
A high speed sampler comprised of...
1 iBOB with logic fabric running at 200MHz, derived from ADC0
1 ADC2x1000-8 operating in its interleaved mode with an 800MHz
sampling clock
1 1PPS Site Timing Reference applied to the ADC's SYNC IN
Is it possible, using the four SYNC outputs of the ADC block, to
ascertain which of the 8 samples presented during a logic clock
cycle was most closely aligned with an in-coming 1PPS signal?
