Hello, I read the paper "RTnet – A Flexible Hard Real-Time Networking Framework" at http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtnet/download/RTnet-ETFA05.pdf and I have a question concerning chapter 3.2, formula 3.
T_slot = T_sched + t_slot - t_offset As far as I understand this formula, the slaves calculate their own starting point T_slot from T_sched (the planned transmission time of master), t_slot (slot duration?) and t_offset (offset between master and slave clock). To my mind, this doesn't makes any sence. Maybe I misunderstand one of the variables, but let me give a small example: T_sched = 15 (absolute time point) t_slot = 10 (duration) t_offset = 20 Then, slave's starting point would be 15+10-20=5 But how is it possible, if the master is the first one sending? I don't understand this formula. Can somebody explain it to me? Thanks in advance Karl -- von Karl Reichert "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
