What is Sync?
All complex digital systems require synchronization of the various elements for proper operation. In the Pliant Technologies CrewCom system, this is accomplished via a sync packet that is transmitted at regular intervals by the primary Control Unit and is consequently received by all other devices on a proprietary network (CrewNet.) This sync packet contains critical information for each device to be able to operate correctly and stay in synchronization with all other devices on the network. Without a correct and robust sync signal, the CrewCom system will not function properly. Since CrewCom, CrewCom CB2, and X-System are designed on the same platform, their respective sync signals can be passed from one to the other (via cabling) in order to coexist and avoid interfering with one another.
