Abstract
A method for quantification of the desynchronization between the clocks of two medical devices communicating wirelessly, for example, by HBC signals. The devices are separately clocked by slow clocks (CLK, CLK) and include selectively activated fast clocks (CLKM, CLKM). The method comprises: a) on a predetermined transition (T) of a slow clock, transmission by one device of a synchronization query signal (SYNC) to the other device, b) counting of the pulses of the activated fast clock to detect a predetermined transition (T) of the first slow clock, then c) transmitting from the other device to the first device a response signal (D) and d) upon reception of the response signal, computing a temporal shift (OFFSET) according to the result (D, D) of the counting of the pulses of the fast clock. Two fast clocks, one on each device, also can be used.
