Manual Common Features 3 Common Features In this chapter you find the following information: 3.1 Time Synchronization General Information Software Sync Hardware Sync © Vector Informatik GmbH page 40 Version 2.
Manual 3.1 Common Features Time Synchronization 3.1.1 General Information Time stamps and events Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or event sequences on a specific bus. Figure 39: Time stamps of two CAN channels in CANalyzer. Generating time stamps Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accurate time stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network interface.
Manual Common Features Figure 41: Example of unsynchronized network interfaces. Independent time stamps drift apart. To compensate these time stamp deviations between the Vector network interfaces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (see next section). Note: The accuracy of the software sync is typically in range of 100 µs. Note: The accuracy of the hardware sync is typically in range of 1 µs. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 2.
Manual Common Features 3.1.2 Software Sync Synchronization by software The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications without any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network interfaces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose no further hardware setup is required. Figure 42: Time stamps of devices are synchronized to the PC clock (accuracy in range of 100 µs).
Manual Common Features 3.1.3 Hardware Sync Synchronization by hardware A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardware synchronization which has to be supported by the application (e. g CANalyzer, CANoe). Therefor two Vector network interfaces can be connected with the SYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, article number 05018). Figure 44: SYNCcableXL to synchronize two devices over 3-pin connector (Binder type 711).
