Appendix II
Absolute Time of Point Cloud Data
■ Source of Absolute Time
The lidar retrieves the current absolute time by connecting to an external clock source (PTP).
·
The lidar connects to a third-party PTP master to obtain the absolute time.
·
Users may configure the PTP settings, see Section 4.2 (Web Control – Settings).
·
Users may check the PTP signal status, see Section 4.1 (Web Control - Home).
·
The lidar does not output GPS Data Packets.
The absolute time is updated as follows.
PTP Status
Date & Time
(accurate to μs)
Description
Free Run
Virtual
Starts counting from a virtual UTC time (such as 2000-01-01 00:00:00), using the lidar's internal 1
Hz signal.
Tracking or
Locked
Synchronized
Extract the actual date and time from the PTP Master's messages.
Frozen
Drifting
Starts counting from the last synchronized time, using the lidar's internal 1 Hz signal.
Will gradually drift from the actual GPS time.
Notes
·
PTP is a Plug & Play protocol; the lidar works as a PTP slave device and requires no additional setup.
·
The timestamps and Date & Time fields in Point Cloud Data Packets strictly follow the PTP master device. Certain PTP master devices may
have a specified offset from the lidar's time output. Please verify the configuration and calibration of your PTP master device.
