+Method 4 - MIMO cable
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A USRP can synchronize its time to another USRP via the MIMO cable.
+Unlike the other methods, this does not use a real "pulse per second".
+Rather, the USRP sends an encoded time message over the MIMO cable.
+The slave device will automatically synchronize to the time on the master device.
+See the `MIMO Cable Application Notes <./usrp2.html#using-the-mimo-cable>`_ for more detail.
