SYNC2 Synchronization Hub

Twinleaf devices can be synchronized by distributing a clock to the sensors. The clock is distributed on a dedicated pair of wires using low voltage differential signaling (LVDS). With the internal GPS module, the system can synchronize a sensor using GPS time. The unit also makes a good logging system thanks to the microSD card socket.
