Which I would guess would be adrift, so it would be kind of hard. Actually, I wonder if it for two unsynchronized clocks would look like an amplitude or phase modulated signal with a sine modulation. This would cause a very typical sine-modulation curve on the histogram, and with gaussian bell shaped outer edges. You would need to lock them up for this hollow shape to fall out and it all become just a bell-shape. > Now, I guess the companion question is: Of what use would it be? If they are free-running, I think the functionality is fairly unuseful. If you lock them up, well, that's another issue.
