thanks for the quick response. I did not have much time to check out
the timed example, but will do that as soon as possible.

I am actually having two USRPs connected via a switch to a single
computer. In the flowgraph I have two times the same branch, starting
from each of the UHD source blocks. The USRPs should listen to the
same stuff and I want to be able to compare their observations
(samples), thus they need to should start sampling at the same time
(or I have to know their exact offset).

This sounds pretty good. I will have a look what I can do with that.
