Hello,

first of all, thanks to all etherlab-developers for their great job.

I have a question about the activation of the sync-signal generation with 
distributed clocks.  I use the ethercatmaster 1.5.1 with the dc-patches from 
Graeme Foot, kernel 2.6.32.11 with rtai 3.8.1. The application is running over 
the rtdm-interface and the masterclock is synchronized to the reference clock 
in slave 1. The slaves are particular developed for us from external companies 
(FPGA-based designs with Beckhoff IP-Core). The synchronization of the 
masterclock with the reference clock, like the patches from Graeme Foot, works 
very well. But i see a constant phase offset between the sync0-signal and the 
incoming frame (SOF). With every restart of the application the offset is 
constant during runtime, but with another value. If the value is in a special 
range, i read  the same input pdo values between two cycle times from the 
slave. To solve the problem i have to know the systemtime, the next 
sync0-signal is generated in the slave. Does anybody know if this time is 
available in a slave with dc-support ?

Thank you in advance,

Ralf Wiegand
