Abstract

The present invention provides for synchronizing signals transmitted to two duplex copies of hardware from a common source. Signals sent from the source to the duplex copies of hardware may arrive asynchronously at the two copies and require synchronization. In addition, the duplex hardware may be validly operated in the simplex mode of operation, which requires no synchronization of the two hardware copies.
