### Synchronization
Synchronization option in the JSON refers to the phase synchronization between the outputs, and can be used only on AD9910 variants and
only with 125 MHz clock source provided from Kasli/Kasli-SoC (may be relayed through the Clocker board).
The phase sync works only within one Urukul board, though the phase shift between Urukuls may be [predictable](https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/issues/1692#issuecomment-994439589).
Even though it is widely-desirable feature, there are drawbacks of this preventing from enabling by default:
1. The resulting signal is more noisy, which can be observed [previously](https://github.com/sinara-hw/Urukul/issues/64).
2. Phase sync process takes time and sometimes fails
3. ???
## Testing
After running `artiq_sinara_test`:
