NetStation 'Synchronize' question

H!!

I have a very basic question - What exactly does the NetStation(‘Synchronize’) command do and what are the consequences not meeting the default 2.5 ms parameter?

More specifically, I get the following warring: “NetStationPC synchronization did not succeed within 2.5 ms. Synchronization accuracy is 5.9 ms.”

It synchronizes the Psychtoolbox time with the NetStation host system, so you have proper timestamps. Failing sync will mean greater error in the timestamps, e.g., 5.9 msecs. 2.5 msecs seems to be considered good. There’s also NetStation(‘GetNTPSynchronize’) for some modern EGI systems, so far only tested under Linux afaik.

help PsychPaidSupportAndServices for any further questions.

Is there anyway to improve the accuracy?
