Individual measuring devices in small series
For more than 15 years, TSEP has been building individual measuring devices in small series for its customers. These custom-made products are characterized by an optimal implementation of the measurement scenario, high reliability and optimal integration into the customer-specific measurement setup. In order to be able to implement these solutions effectively and inexpensively, TSEP developed […]
Cooperation between TenAsys and TSEP
Wolnzach, March 2020 Since 01.01.2020 TenAsys and TSEP have been working together in a cooperation with the goals of porting the IEEE 1588 PTP stack from TSEP to the real-time operating system INtime from TenAsys and working together to create a complete TSN solution. The combination of a real-time operating system such as TenAsys’ INtime and TSEP’s own IEEE 1588 PTP […]
LXI Plugfest in Nashville
Beginning of October the LXI Consortium met for their face-to-face meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. Here further progress on the LXI Security Extended Function was achieved by identifying which sections of the current LXI Standard 1.5 needed to be adapted in the light of security. Also some sections need to be adapted due to new laws […]
TSEP at the SENSOR+TEST 2019
On Tuesday, 25 June, SENSOR+TEST 2019 – the leading international trade fair for sensor, measuring and testing technology – will once again open its doors in Nürnberg under the motto “Welcome to the Innovation Dialogue!”. The approximately 540 exhibitors from 34 nations are expected to welcome around 8,000 visitors from Germany and abroad over the three days […]
Apollo: Use of Data Glasses in Measurement Technology
The need to have information always and everywhere available has increased in recent years. Especially in industry there are various scenarios in which the direct provision of information such as measured variables, circuit diagrams or documents seems to make sense. It is particularly interesting if this information can be displayed directly in the user’s field […]
The LXI standard in measurement technology and what will be possible in the future
With the LXI standard, suitable measuring instruments can communicate via Ethernet. The consortium is currently working on LXI Security. But there will also be self-certified measuring devices in the future. An overview. At the beginning of October 2018, the LXI consortium published the so-called LXI Reference Design Version 1.4. With the reference implementation, many companies […]
Technology Partnership with IntervalZero
TSEP and IntervalZero agreed in 2017 on a technology partnership with the objective to offer an on real-time IEEE1588 master stack for Windows and RTX64. Wolnzach, November 2018 TSEP and IntervalZero agreed last year on a cooperation to port the IEEE 1588 stack from TSEP to RTX64. This cooperation was now successful and enables the […]
Problems and Solutions for IEEE 1588 Implementations
The time synchronization over 1588 has been established as an IEEE standard since 2008 and is already used in various areas. Until now, the use of this standard has always been associated with exotic hardware, i.e. the implementation of network adapters in various FPGAs or embedded controllers. With the introduction of the Intel network chip […]
Investigating LXI Functions of Measurement Instruments
Using a test solution consisting of hardware and software, the LXI functions on measuring instruments can be investigated and verified. A connection to the network helps to automate the test. The LXI functions of a measuring instrument can be verified with a special hardware and software solution. The advantage of the Kerberos system developed by […]
The IEEE 1588 Standard
Synchronizing time between multiple computers in the network has always been a challenge. What is, in the first step, a trivial requirement to equip two or more computers with the identical time is, on closer inspection, a very complex problem. The problem can be defined as follows: Distribution of the time of a very precise time source (atomic […]
