Synchronization Synchronization

The seamless handover of the timeline (cursor and events) across kernels and experiments implies that a kernel can exit long before the events it has submitted have been executed. The seamless handover of the timeline (cursor and events) across kernels and experiments implies that a kernel can exit long before the events it has submitted have been executed.
If a previous kernel sets timeline cursor far in the future this effectively locks the system. If a previous kernel sets timeline cursor far in the future this effectively locks the system.
When a kernel should wait until all the events on a particular channel have been executed, use the :meth:`artiq.coredevice.ttl.TTLOut.sync` method of a channel:
When a kernel should wait until all the events have been executed, use the :meth:`artiq.coredevice.core.Core.wait_until_mu` with a timestamp after (or at) the last event:
