Re: [casper] Using Two ADC Boards in Sync

hi ron, you must connect the sample clock generator to both adc boards in a dual adc system. to do this, you'll need a 2:1 power splitter (about $25 from minicircuits). you can purchase sample clock generators from valon technologies. the ADC2x1000-8 and ADC1x3000-8 yellow blocks will sync

No. I want to have both ADC boards be of the same type. The new concern I have is that you express doubt that the yellow blocks will sync the two ADC's on our ROACH board. If one ADC is out of sync with the other, I expect the ADC generating the FPGA clock will be in sync but the other ADC may be
