Very helpful Jeff, Thank you.

Hi JefeL,

I know this is an old post you help me on before but wanted to revive it to follow up with a very similar/related question on synchronizing the PXIe-8523 Automotive Ethernet with a PXIe-8510 XNET CAN card. 

So instead of a gateway between 2 CAN busses, in this case I have a Gateway between 1 CAN bus and 1 Automotive Ethernet interface. My tests require that I sync the PXIe-8523 Automotive Ethernet with the PXIe-8510 XNET CAN card so that I can accurately measure the time taken for a message transmitted on one interface to arrive on the other interface. Do you know how to achieve this sync between the Automotive Eth and XNET CAN? I cant seem to find any examples but according the the documentation of the XNET Connect Terminals.vi, I would need to use the "Time Trigger" on the Ethernet to achieve synchronization. Do you have any examples or ideas on who to implement this?

Thanks
