Controlling the Probe With TimeMonitor PDV
The TP 5000 Probe can also be provisioned and operated with the TimeMonitor PDV
software module.
The TimeMonitor PDV Software has three major functions:
 Configure the TP 5000 probe for PTP packet-timing measurement data collection.
 Collect packet timing data. The file of collected data contains packet timestamps
between the TP 5000 Probe and a PTP grandmaster.
