‘PTP synchronisation on’
checkbox
This allows the user to select whether any timestamps that may be
added to the datastream are PTP synchronised or not. Please note this
will only work if there is a PTP grandmaster on the same network as
the microDAQ
‘Datastream timestamp’
dropbox
The user can use this to select where the timestamp is positioned in
the datastream, either none which will turn the timestamp off, start of
cycle which will place a timestamp at the beginning of all the channels
and every channel which will read the timestamp for every channel. It
should be noted that the latter 2 options will reduce the maximum
transmission speed datastream.
‘get PC time’
This button allows the user to get the timestamp from the PC time of
the PC they are using. This can be used as a base time for the
timestamps if the user is not using PTP. In the first box it will show the
timestamp and in the second box it displays the timestamp converted
date/time to make it easier to understand.
‘Apply’
This button will apply the settings chosen on this page.
‘Refresh’
This allows the user to refresh the displayed value of the last read
timestamp from the microDAQ.
‘last read microDAQ unix time’
The top line shows the current time in the microDAQ in
Table 5.11, Timestamp
