NoteTheMAC bypassing latency is independent of the frame length (Cut-throughmode)if there are no bypassing conflicts (e. g. additional frames sent by an application).If additional frames are sent by an application, the bypass latency depends on theframe length (Store-and-ForwardMode).



Time stamp clock forEthernet and CAN

The VN5610(A) uses a common time stamp clock for Ethernet and CAN events. So ifthemeasurement setup is extended by a CAN network, the generated CAN timestamps are always in sync with the Ethernet time stamps which helps analyzing thenetwork.

4.2.1 IntroductionVectorHardware Config

Figure 24: General view of Vector Hardware Config

Logical and physicalchannels

Vector Hardware Config enables the channel configuration between installed Vectordevices and applications. Applications use so-called logical channels which are hard-ware independent and have to be assigned to real hardware channels.

4.2.2 Tree ViewAccessingVector devices

The tool is split into two windows. The left window has a tree view and lets youaccess the installed Vector devices, the right window displays the details of the selec-tion. The following nodes are available in the tree view:

Hardware TheHardware section lists the installed Vector devices. Each device item has phys-ical channels which can be assigned to any number of logical channels (e. g.CANalyzer CAN 1). A logical channel can be assigned to only one physical channel.

Figure 27: Hardware

Application InApplication, all available applications are displayed in a tree view. According toeach application, the assignments of logical and physical channels are displayed inthe right part of the window. If no assignment exists, the informationNot assignedappears. The assignment can be edited via a right-click.

5 Time SynchronizationIn this chapter you find the following information:

5.1 General Information 45

5.2 Software Sync 47

5.3 Hardware Sync 48



5.1 General InformationTime stampsand events

Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or eventsequences on a specific bus.

Figure 32: Time stampsof two CAN channels in CANalyzer

Generatingtime stamps

Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accuratetime stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network inter-face. The base for these time stamps is a common hardware clock in the device.

Figure 33: Common time stamp clock for each channel

If themeasurement setup requires more than one Vector network interface, a syn-chronization of all connected interfaces and their hardware clocks is needed.

Due tomanufacturing and temperature tolerances, the hardware clocks may vary inspeed, so time stamps of various Vector devices drift over time.

To compensate for these time stamp deviations between the Vector network inter-faces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (seenext section).

NoteThe accuracy of the software and hardware sync depends on the interface. Furtherinformation on specific values can be found in the technical data of the respectivedevices.

5.2 Software Sync


5.2 Software SyncSynchronizationby software

The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applicationswithout any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network inter-faces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose nofurther hardware setup is required.

The setting of the software time synchronization can be changed in theVector Hard-ware Config tool inGeneral information | Settings | Software time syn-chronization.

Figure 36: Switching on the software synchronization

YESThe software time synchronization is active.

NOThe software time synchronization is not active. Use this setting only if the Vectornetwork interfaces are being synchronized over the sync line or if only a singledevice is used.

5.3 Hardware Sync


5.3 Hardware SyncSynchronizationby hardware

A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardwaresynchronization which has to be supported by the application (e. g. CANalyzer,CANoe). Two Vector network interfaces can therefore be connected with theSYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, part number 05018).

In order to synchronize up to five devices at the same time, a distribution box is avail-able (see accessories manual, part number 05085).
