Claim One:
1. A method comprising: obtaining timing or synchronization information during a plurality of synchronization events, wherein a synchronization event is an event involving communication across a separation between at least two separated electronic circuits of a plurality of electronic circuits in order to synchronize timebases of the separated electronic circuits, the plurality of electronic circuits each having at least one component used to output a signal that represents a timebase, wherein which events occur in each of the plurality of electronic circuits according to the timebase of the respective electronic circuit; synchronizing the timebases of the separated electronic circuits as part of at least one of the plurality of synchronization events, using the obtained timing or synchronization information; and providing for a dynamic adjustment of offset between the timebases of the at least two separated electronic circuits at an adjustment time, wherein the dynamic adjustment is based on an amount of time since a prior synchronization event, wherein the adjustment time is distinct from each of the plurality of synchronization event times and wherein the dynamic adjustment takes into account estimated offsets for a time period between the time of one of the synchronization event times and the adjustment time, and wherein the estimated offsets are determined without communication across the separation occurring at the adjustment time.
