Hi Jan
I just want to clarify the meaning of the fields in the rtmac_waitinfo
structure because there are more than one way that these fields can be
interpreted.

1. The "cycle_no" field is a count of elementary cycles WITHIN a this
Sync frame (that runs from 1 to 100 or multiples of this) to indicate
the progression within the frame. It is NOT the Cycle Number of the
amount of frames sent on the LAN as indicated by the Cycle Number in
the Synchronisation Frame header sent by an active master.

2. The "cycle_start" time is the time as indicated by the local clock
of the when the Sync of THIS frame was received. It is NOT the
PREDICTED time of when the next Sync is SCHEDULED to happen.

Thanks
Michael
