Is EVS IEEE-1588 capable?

[Jeff_Spaulding]

I've been working with a NI PXI chassis with a 6682 card that syncs to the IEEE-1588 Master clock in a Rockwell Automation PLC over ethernet.  Can an NI Embedded Vision System (EVS) perform the IEEE-1588 synchronization?  If not now, is there a plan to develop this capability?

There is no explicit hardware support for 1588 on the EVS, but the NI-TimeSync plugin with software 1588 support should work. I believe you can expect sub-millisecond performance with the software-based solution on RT systems. See this page ( http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2520/lang/en ) for details.

Thanks Eric, I'll give it a try.
