ibaPDA offers several methods of time synchronization. The purpose of time synchronization is to set the time of the ibaPDA system in accordance with a central time server. In this case, ibaPDA is a "time slave". In the case of PTP time synchronization, ibaPDA can itself be a time server for other systems and be configured as a "time master".

You should use the “Use system time” option for data storage when time synchronization is active. Otherwise, the start time of the data file will not be accurate. |

To avoid conflicts between the Windows time management and the ibaPDA time synchronization, you should disable the local service Windows time source on the computer as soon as you enable one of the ibaPDA time synchronization modes.

There are the following ways to synchronize time:
-
DCF77
-
IEC 1131
-
PTPv2
-
ibaClock
-
NTP via Windows
Depending on the use of special interfaces other methods for time synchronization may be offered.
