Hello,
We presently have an extensive PTP network setup to synchronize our PXI chassis and recently looked into adding a 1588 slave from another vendor onto this network. However, it appears that the 1588 implemented in the 6682 and 6683 are based upon UDP, which is allowable in version 2. However, our other vendor uses a lower level implementation on the data link layer, not the transport layer. We have presently setup our 1588 network with the 6682s by simply using MAX and the test panels and do not have any code on the RT chassis that actually sets this up but we aren't opposed to it if needed.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations in possible solutions to this? I figured we would ask before we tried to go down what might be a very dark tunnel.
Thanks,
Curtiss
