Example

The MASTer clock command allows you to specify a master clock for a given machine. The master clock is used in all clocking modes (Master, Slave, and Demultiplexed). Each command deals with only one clock (J,K,L,M); therefore, a complete clock specification requires four commands, one for each clock. Edge specifications (RISing, FALLing, or BOTH) are ORed.

At least one clock edge must be specified.
