Patent attributes
A computer system is provided that includes devices configured to acquire input data. The system further includes a remote node (RN) configured to receive a first packet from a control node (CN). The first packet includes a packet header including a master timestamp, first control data and a CRC. The RN is also configured to verify integrity of the first control data based on the received CRC, generate and transmit to the CN a second packet. The second packet includes a packet header which includes a remote timestamp. The system also includes a CN connected with the RN via high-speed serial interfaces. The CN is configured to receive the second packet, determine status of the first packet based on the control data included in the second packet and configured to retransmit the first packet or generate and transmit a third packet based on the determined status of the first packet.
