1.3 IEEE Std 1588™ in Test and Measurement and Industrial
Automation
Figure 3 shows how a test and measurement application can use the IEEE 1588 precise time
synchronization.
Figure 3. IEEE 1588 in Test and Measurement
In this application, IEEE 1588 allows coordination and control of test and measurement equipment over a
distributed Ethernet network. Precise timing delivery allows test equipment to deliver patterns and
measure responses at specific times, enabling accurate timestamping of measured data and allowing
coordination of input stimuli and any associated measured data. The trigger inputs and outputs enable
coordination of other devices.
