IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol

Synchronized networked measurement and execution across target computers with PTP

The Precision Time Protocol (IEEE® 1588-2008) synchronizes clocks throughout a computer network. For more information about the standard, see standards.ieee.org.

To interface to a PTP network, run the RTOS PTP daemon on the target computer. For more information, see Precision Time Protocol and the methods for the Target.ptpd object.
