Abstract
An initial value generation circuit generates an initial value taking into consideration the a time delay when a signal is transmitted through the signal wires between a pilot device and other devices, and a processing delay caused in respective devices. When a device receives a system synchronizing signal form another device, the device sets an initial value in a counter. Thereby, the counter value of a counter in a pilot device and counter values of counters in the other devices are made to coincide with each other.
