5.2.2 Two Cards no Reference Time Synchronization

Preventing
time-stamps
drift
To prevent the DAG card clocks time-stamps drifting against UTC, the
master can be synchronized to the host PC’s clock which in turn utilises
NTP. This then provides a master signal to the slave card.
The cards are locked together by connecting the synchronization
connector ports of both cards with a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cross-over
cable.
Configure one card to synchronize to the PC clock and output a RS-422
synchronization signal to the second card.

5.2.3 Card with Reference Time Synchronization
Description
The best timestamp accuracy occurs when a DAG card is connected to an
external clock reference, such as a GPS or CDMA time receiver.
Pulse signal
from external
sources
The DAG synchronization connector accepts a RS-422 Pulse Per Second
[PPS] signal from external sources.
This is derived directly from a reference source, or distributed through the
Endace TDS 2 [Time Distribution Server] module which allows two DAG
cards to use a single receiver.
More cards can be accommodated by daisy-chaining TDS-6 expansion
units to the TDS-2 unit, each providing outputs for an additional 6 DAG
cards.
