Of course, you could hardwire them. That will tie them to within a block scan.

The peer-to-peer suggestion using 3 CPs should be roughly the same order of 
magnitude of error. If you connect the Master signal to the slaves, the OM in 
the master will send it out in about 0.25s (average). The receiving CPs will 
process the message straightaway (subject to loading issues) so that the block 
will see it on its next scan.

Terry is right.
As long as you have the two CP's look at the "HOUR" parameter independently, 
you will be stuck with a max 2 second difference.
Have only one CP (can be a third CP)look at the "HOUR" and set some bit 
accordingly and let both ACCUMs look at that bit instead and you're in business.

 Brian,
 The Master Timekeeper is supposed to keep the internal clocks of all stations 
(including CP's) within +-1 second, previous to V8. So your two CP's (worst 
case) could be almost 2 seconds difference. This is the best resolution you 
should expect to see.
 
 
 If that is acceptable, then you can try the period phase items, below.  But 
remember that you need a 1/2 second or at worst 1 second period.
 
 Check to see if you have OM_Scanner overruns on both CP's
