NI PCI-1588 InterfaceIEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol Synchronization Interface |
The National Instruments PCI-1588 uses the IEEE 1588-2002 precision time protocol to synchronize clocks and events with other IEEE 1588-based instruments or computers. The NI PCI-1588 uses a standard RJ-45 Ethernet plug and CAT 5 cabling. It is capable of operating as either an IEEE 1588 master or slave clock module. An onboard FPGA automatically adjusts the frequency and phase of an onboard IEEE 1588 clock. The NI PCI-1588 interface synchronizes its clock with other IEEE 1588-capable devices through a built-in Ethernet port. With this synchronized time base, it can also synchronize events using (1) three general-purpose PFI lines for synchronizing non-1588 devices such as traditional instruments or PLCs via SMB connectors on the PCI bracket and (2) a RTSI interface for synchronizing other PCI instruments in the same PC. Extended WarrantiesNational Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, but we know unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase covering any repair costs for up to three years.
CalibrationNI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. We provide manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many of our measurement products. TrainingNI training is the fastest, most certain route to productivity with NI tools and successful application development.
