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 […]
