PTP/IEEE-1588 Slave Software
|
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a relatively new protocol. As such, there are very few options available
for you to use for Slave Clock software. The widely available software is an open source version
which is listed in the table below. A Windows version of PTP Slave software is available for you to purchase
from another vendor (see below).
For an explanation of PTP/IEEE-1588 please read our "Precision Time Protocol" white paper.

Choices for PTP Slave software on Windows machines are very limited. Windows is not a real-time operating
system and synchronization is dependent on the CPU and the operating system version.
PTP Slave software is available from Greyware and is called Domain Time II.
Your PTP Slave can be synchronized to within one millisecond of the Grandmaster (network topology
dependent) using this software.

PTPd is freely available at Sourceforge and is a complete implementation
of the IEEE-1588 specification for a standard clock. Source code for PTPd is open source and because of
contributions from users it is becoming an increasingly portable, interoperable, and stable IEEE-1588
implementation. Your PTP Slave can be synchronized to within 10 microseconds of the Grandmaster using
this software (network topology dependent).
