2.4. Summary of MSR Options
A Multi-link SpaceWire Recorder can be supplied with firmware that provides additional optional features:
2.4.1. TT - Time-Tags
The time of receipt of all SpaceWire tokens may be recorded, to a resolution of better than 2 ns, to assist the
correlation of events on different links. With support from inter-unit synchronisation or an Absolute Time
Interface (ATI) unit, the time-tags recorded by most members of the 4Links EtherSpaceLink family may be
synchronised to an accuracy of better than 10 ns.
2.4.2. ER - Event / Error Reporting
SpaceWire tokens defined as errors, that would normally be hidden (typically resulting in a link reset) or replaced
by an EEP character, can be made visible for recording purposes.
2.4.3. EW - Event / Error Waveforms
Each SpaceWire port has an associated waveform store that captures the transmit and receive wire signals for
that port. The capture of a waveform will be triggered by a wide variety of events on that port.
