5.2 Software Sync
Synchronization
by software
The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications
without any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network inter-
faces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose no
further hardware setup is required.

The setting of the software time synchronization can be changed in the Vector Hard-
ware Config tool in General information | Settings | Software time syn-
chronization.
Figure 35: Switching on the software synchronization
> YES
The software time synchronization is active.
> NO
The software time synchronization is not active. Use this setting only if the Vector
network interfaces are being synchronized over the sync line or if only a single
device is used.
