Measurement example: Phase data streaming
When using software that was originally written to capture phase data from the Symmetricom /
Microsemi 5115A/5120A/5125A and compatible instruments, you will normally want to allow TSERVE to
use its default
/port
value (1298) and default
/format
value (TSC). However, when using TimeLab’s
Ac quire→Acquire from TCP/IP streaming server option, only the phase-difference data format
(
/format:P
) is supported.
Example:
tserve64 /data_port:1234 /phaserate:100 /phasedec:20 /format:P /start
As an example, the command above will begin capturing phase-difference data at a rate of 100 samples
per second as soon as TSERVE is launched. If desired, Telnet commands may be issued via port 1299 as
usual, but this isn’t required since the
/start
option has been specified on the TSERVE command line.
Internally, the data will be captured at 200 samples per second with a noise-equivalent bandwidth of 50
Hz. Phase data would normally be recorded with 2:1 decimation after detection, for a final data rate of
100 samples per second. However, the use of the
/phasedec:20
option results in a final data rate of only
10 samples per second. This is the rate at which the phase-difference readings associated with
/
format:P
will be streamed from port 1234.
