Hello Fabian and Young,

The suggestion about timed commands is on point, I think that is what is
missing. Using unknown PPS will not hurt as there are two radio blocks with
timekeepers and using the unknown PPS setting, or external or gpsdo if
installed, will ensure that they are aligned.

> 3) If that does not work, maybe the FPGA can handly only one command at a
time - even if you tell him to execute two. Then it may be possible to
start one command timed before the other and extend that sequence of
samples with the correct amount of zeros.

Each radio channel has it's own queue for timed commands so it is possible
to schedule all channels simultaneously.
