The nodes use the synchronized clock as a reference when applying their
input signals and setting output signals, and accordingly transmit the system
image corresponding to a defined point in time as the protocol is transmitted.

Please note that exact synchronization is always particularly important when
spatially distributed processes require simultaneous actions.
