Configuration with ibaPDA
To be able to use ibaClock together with ibaPDA, the device must be configured in the
I/O Manager of ibaPDA.
Requirements:
ibaPDA, version 6.34.0 or higher
Firmware of the ibaFOB-D card: D3 or higher
If ibaClock is connected to an ibaPDA system, the device sends the UTC time to ibaPDA.
If ibaPDA saves measuring data (*.dat), the time stamp of the local time and the offset
at the UTC time is saved with every file.
Using this time stamp, measuring data of different systems/locations can be assigned
and compared to each other.
The time axis in the signal display of ibaPDA displays the local system time of the ibaPDA
computer at which the data was recorded.
To compare measuring data that was recorded by different ibaPDA systems at different
locations, the time difference in the signal display in ibaAnalyzer can be compensated.
Note
The acquisition time basis must be identically configured in the ibaPDA I/O Manager on
the ibaPDA systems to avoid a potential asynchrony.
