TS10623: Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) Primer

Speakers:

Brad Buchanan (Senior Software Engineer, National Instruments)

Wade Fife (Senior Hardware Engineer, National Instruments)

The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize devices to the submicrosecond level on standard Ethernet networks. At this session, examine the setup of a PTP system, its implementation on NI controllers, and ways to use it in machine vision applications. Examples include very accurate timestamping, the correlation of images with I/O, and the tight synchronization of multicamera acquisitions.

Hi, I'm currently doing research on synchronization protocols for telecommunication networks in LTE-Advanced. Coincidentally I want to simulate the benefits of IEEE1588, as well as other protoclos SyncE, NTP and GNSS (satellite). The aim is to make recommendations protocols in a heterogeneous network (HetNet). My question is, is there a card (or cards) that allows me to simulate this scenario, where you can make improvements in comparison or protocols on schedule.

From already, thank you very much

Hello Luis,

Thanks for your interest in NI's timing and synchronization options. I would recommed checking out these articles for more information on timing and synchronization:

The PXI-6683 can support a variety of synchronization methods (1588, GPS, IRIG-B, PPS), but we don't have dedicated HW for some of the synchronization methods you asked about. You could come to the presentation at 4:00pm on Tuesday and we can discuss this more. We will even have some R&D engineers from the Time and Sync group at the presentation that would be good to discuss your application with them as well.

Hope this helps,

Brad
