Due to possible variations of the LOF values from one reference mark to the other, the
current global time may contain discontinuities. In order to get a smooth (continuous)
behavior, a SW filter can be used for receiving nodes. The global time can be calculated
as shown below:
•
Local Time + Local Offset or
•
Cycle Time + Reference Mark + Local Offset

Transmit Trigger
The TTCAN feature of a CAN node implies the counting of transmission requests for
messages to be sent in exclusive time windows. The number of messages to be
transmitted in exclusive time windows is defined by system application design for the
entire system matrix (expected transmit triggers EXPTT). This theoretical value is used
to verify if the real TTCAN node also requests the same amount of transmissions. If
fewer or more transmit triggers have been counted by the transmit trigger counter
TTCNT at the end of a system matrix, a transmit trigger error interrupt can be generated
(if enabled by TTIEN). This is indicated by the bits transmit trigger underflow TTUF and
transmit trigger overflow TTOF.
