Method of synchronizing a plurality of devices , wherein each of the plurality of devices operates in sync with an internal clock signal such that actions performed by each device are timed based on time cycles defined by a periodicity of the internal clock signal, the internal clock signal of at least one of the devices being periodic at a first frequency, wherein the plurality of devices is mutually synchronized via a party line to which all devices of the plurality of devices is connected; the method comprising: providing, from a system clock to each of the plurality of devices , a system clock signal which is periodic at a second frequency smaller than the first frequency, the second frequency thereby defining a plurality of sequential system clock cycles; synchronizing, in each of the plurality of devices , the internal clock signal based on the received system clock signal; and triggering, by at least one device of the plurality of devices and in sync with the system clock signal, a system synchronization event comprising: changing, by the at least one device during a first time cycle , a signal status of a common party line signal on the party line such as to signal the synchronization event; and monitoring, by each of the plurality of devices during a second time cycle , the common party line signal on the party line for registering the change in signal status of the common party line signal; wherein the second cycle occurs later than the first time cycle and is separated therefrom by one or more further time cycles , wherein a duration from a start of the first cycle to an end of the second cycle is less than a duration of one system clock cycle. providing, from a system clock to each of the plurality of devices , a system clock signal which is periodic at a second frequency smaller than the first frequency, the second frequency thereby defining a plurality of sequential system clock cycles; synchronizing, in each of the plurality of devices , the internal clock signal based on the received system clock signal; and triggering, by at least one device of the plurality of devices and in sync with the system clock signal, a system synchronization event comprising: changing, by the at least one device during a first time cycle , a signal status of a common party line signal on the party line such as to signal the synchronization event; and monitoring, by each of the plurality of devices during a second time cycle , the common party line signal on the party line for registering the change in signal status of the common party line signal; changing, by the at least one device during a first time cycle , a signal status of a common party line signal on the party line such as to signal the synchronization event; and monitoring, by each of the plurality of devices during a second time cycle , the common party line signal on the party line for registering the change in signal status of the common party line signal; wherein the second cycle occurs later than the first time cycle and is separated therefrom by one or more further time cycles , wherein a duration from a start of the first cycle to an end of the second cycle is less than a duration of one system clock cycle. <EOS>
