Category Description
Cause A network switch is causing jitter on the PTP timestamps in the
network.
Solution Increase the PTP Accuracy, see „Checking the Perception setup“ on
page 421.

Use accurate master is set, status is orange
Category Description
Cause The mainframe is synchronized to a PTP master that has a clock
class worse than 7.
Solution 1 GPS antenna is not found, the mainframe has become PTP master.
Treat this the same as “No signal”.
Solution 2 Waitforapproximatelyveminutes,theGPSantennamaystillbe

Recording
(different
non- accurate
masters)
Each mainframe operates synchronized to its master, data in the
recording maybe shifted.
Recording
(single
non-accurate
master)
The data of all mainframes are typically synchronized to the PTP
master; however, some systems may apply additional sanity checks
and adjust sample times when these checks fail.
This setup requires any additional network peripherals to be PTP aware.
