[time-nuts] DMTD to MMTD

Hi

Thanks for the quick response. 

The impression I've always had of that system is that it is comparing the
sources two at a time. They can select between a number of sources, but only
one pair is looked at.

I'm after stuff on a system that simultaneously looks at several sources. My
assumption is that you could simply use a bunch of DMTD's and then do the
math. You might also be able to simplify things a bit....

Bob

JPL have had such systems for many years:
