Time Synchronization

This Application Note explains how the TimeSynch option, powered by FSMLabs’ TimeKeeper, ensures precise time synchronization across Xena Ethernet test chassis—crucial for accurate one-way latency measurements, multi-site protocol analysis, and synchronized traffic generation.

Whether you’re operating in a local datacenter or across remote networked environments, Xena offers flexible configurations using PTP, NTP, or GPS sources. The document details licensing options, hardware requirements (like the SpectraTime GPS module), and step-by-step configuration guidance for both client and server setups.

With real-time monitoring tools and seamless integration via XenaManager, this solution empowers engineers to maintain nanosecond-level accuracy across distributed test setups.
