Hi Derek,

If USRPs A & B clocked by an Octoclock, are connected to the same host, I
want calibrate the counter values from USRPs A and B. How can I do it? Is
this function supported by UHD? If not, could I update the counter values
in the FPGA Radio blocks? or I can only keep an calibration table of
counter value offsets on my host?

Thanks!
