I use it if it's already in use, but if I'm starting a new design I try to avoid "Master" and I really try to avoid "Slave"
What the fuck is wrong with computer people?
It’s been primary/secondary and main/secondary in the automotive hydraulics world since at least 2000. I know because my hs car repair class used master/slave and I had to do a double take for a second back in ‘01 looking at the manual before bleeding the brakes on a focus.
Is everything else in the hydraulics world also primary/secondary?
