3.In the Sync delay text box, enter the delay (in microseconds) that you want to introduce to the timing signal, then click OK.

Viewing the Connection Status

See the section Checking the Connection Status (page 24).

Swap Sync Setup

The application controls synchronization of buffer swaps (swap sync) between applications. Proper connection and synchronization of the timing signal are required for proper synchronization of buffer swaps.

See Using the OpenGL Extensions (page 55) for instructions on how an application can use the extensions to accomplish swap sync.
