3.2.4 PTP Version 2 (TC) (MS20/MS30, 
PowerMICE)
In strongly cascaded networks in particular, the transparent clock (TC) 
introduced in PTP Version 2 provides a noticeable increase in precision.  
The combination with the P2P runtime mechanism (simultaneous runtime 
measurement at all ports) enables “seamless” reconfiguration.
The following settings enable you to also use the TC for Unicast PTP 
messages:
– Selecting the E2E mechanism
– Syntonize disabled
– PTP Management disabled.
You select the PTP version you will use in the Time:PTP:Global dialog.
V1 Hardware 
Compatibility
Some devices from other 
manufacturers require PTP 
messages of specific length. 
If the UDP/IPv4 network protocol is 
selected and the function is active, 
the device extends the PTP 
messages.

Asymmetry Correction of the runtime asymmetry 
in ns. A runtime measurement value 
of x ns corrupted by asymmetrical 
transmission values corresponds to 
an asymmetry of x·2 ns
