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.

Functions

`Target.ptpd`	Target Computer PTP Daemon (Since R2020b)
`start`	Start the PTP daemon on the target computer (Since R2020b)
`stop`	Stop the PTP daemon on the target computer (Since R2020b)
`status`	View the PTP daemon status on the target computer (Since R2020b)

Blocks

IEEE 1588 Read Parameter

Output Precision Time Protocol status parameter values such as target computer system time, calendar time, and delays (Since R2020b)
