Hi
I am interested in knowing the time when a message or any data sent or received by X20BC008T.
Currently i extracted UaExpert logs for Timestamps but they are not suitable for me as timestamp granularity for UaExpert log is milliseconds(I am looking for micro seconds or nano seconds) and it measures the time including the writing time on the disk. Please recommend me some simple way to get the accurate time.
Regards
Hi,
unfortunately, the currently available firmware of the X20BC008T does not offer a precise timing information of the transmit and reception times. The device targets cyclic IO handling, where the timestamps are not (yet) explicitly considered.
Additionally, the PubSub communication of the device uses the periodic fixed header layout, which per default disables timestamping.
Best regards
Thank you for the reply. Is there any way at all to find the time of message reception?
Currently, the implementation is focused on cyclic data exchange, where the message timings are implicit and additional timestamps are usually not needed. The device itself does not benefit from knowledge about the message timings (as this depends a lot on the network scheduling).
In case the application needs the (relativ) timing of IO activities, dedicated nettime modules exist for the bus controller family. However, this does not seem to fit your needs.
