Tempo: Releases

1

Supports IRIG-B analysis through the new PHM 25 module.

Requires the IRIG-B monitor option.

2

Includes enhanced generation and analysis in contra-directional
interfaces through a new version of the PHM 22 module.

Requires the G.703/E0 test option.

3

Improved detection of IEEE C37.94 alarms (AIS, ALL 1s)

Requires the IEEE C37.94 test option.

4

New implementation of the IEEE C37.94, T1 and E1 bidirectional
pass-through monitoring function with improved jitter tolerance.

Requires at leas one of the IEEE C37.94, E1 OR
T1 test options.

For E1 and E1 options the
“dual TDM” test option is also required.

5

The event logger has been modified to add more events
(C37.94 events). Some other events have been moved to a different
location to increase their availability (clock reference
events).

6

New unified system menu to enable or disable services. This
service allows to improve security by disabling unnecessary
services.

7

New PTP implementation based on firmware fixed all issues
related with CPU performance and PTP message rates.

Requires the PTP test option.

8

German language is now supported in the GUI.

9

Includes new Power Management firmware to minimize power
consumption when the unit is powered off. The Power Management
version is now upgradable by any user.

10

The GOOSE and SV results menu is modified to display the filter
which is currently applied to received traffic.

Requires the ISO/IEC 61850 monitoring option.

11

The system stability is improved when a long sequence of configuration
files is loaded to the unit.

12

The RFC 6349 test is improved to improve the accuracy in
lossy channels.

Requires the RFC 6349 test option.

13

Implements the latest MIB library including the new RFC 2544
MIB and Ethernet link status reports.

Requires the SNMP management option.

1

Includes new local one-way delay test in E1, T1 and IEEE C37.94 modes to enable measurement of forward and backward latency with a single unit and without the need for an external clock reference.

Requires at least one of the E1, T1 or IEEE C37.94 testing modes and the one-way delay software options

2

Provides configuration of synthesized clock source in passthrough mode for E1, T1 and IEEE C37.94 operation modes. This configuration is useful for interconnecting two devices without the ability to generate a clock.

Requires at least one of the E1, T1 or IEEE C37.94 software options

3

Includes IRIG-B detailed clock reference input analysis and provides details about ToD clock reference status. These functions provide diagnostic resources to help users detecting issues that could degrade test results in synchronization and latency tests.

Requires a unit equipped with a clock references board with support for IRIG-B. It also requires the IRIG-B clock reference software option.

4

Provides a more flexible and advanced delay generation function for E1, T1 and IEEE C37.94 in pass-through and loopback modes. The new modes include both symmetric and asymmetric delay generation.

Requires at least one of the E1, T1 or IEEE C37.94 software options.

5

Includes support for forwardable and non-forwardable destination addresses in multicast PTP modes with Ethernet payloads.

Requires software options related with PTP clock emulation.

6

Adds the settings required to configure PTP clock accuracy and clock variance when the unit is configured as a grandmaster or an ordinary clock.

Requires software options related with PTP clock emulation.

7

Improves interoperability of NMEA clock references received from third party devices

Requires a unit equipped with a clock references board.

8

Increases time resolution in service disruption time tests and improves the operation with some triggers.

Requires at least one of the E1, T1 or IEEE C37.94, datacom, VF or G.703/E0 software options together with their requirements.

9

Includes multi-language support in PDF reports for languages with Latin characters.

1

Improved protocol analysis function with built in packet dissectors for many common protocols including PTP, NTP, DNS, DHCP, ARP, GOOSE and SV. Packet-by-packet delay estimates for time-critical protocols.

Requires the latest application board.

Requires the new Packet capture software option.

2

NTP client and server emulation and NTP test mode including delay and time error measurements.

References board rand OCXO hardware options recommended.

3

New family of filters for NTP. Includes different filtering rules to select and classify NTP messages.

Requires the new NTP test license.

4

More accurate and simple terminology for PTP latency statistics. Now delay standard deviations and ranges are classified as PDV (jitter) rather than PTD (delay) statistics.

Requires that the PTP licenses are unlocked.

5

Units in Ethernet and IP bandwidth statistics are now user configurable: b/s, kb/s and Mb/s.

6

Support transmission speeds up to 10 Mb/s in synchronous data communications interfaces: X.21 / V.11, V.35, V.36 (RS-449), EIA-530, EIA-530A.

Requires the E1 or T1 test together with the Datacom test licenses to be unlocked.

7

More accurate terminology for data communications frequency results. Now the unit displays the clock circuit where the frequency was measured.

Requires the E1 or T1 test together with the Datacom test licenses to be unlocked.

8

Generation of custom phase between data and clock circuits (0º, 90º, 180º, 270º) in synchronous data communication interfaces. Measurement of data-to-clock phase in synchronous data communication circuits.

Requires the E1 or T1 test together with the Datacom test licenses to be unlocked.

9

Adds support for the new PHM-24 module supporting an additional E1 or T1 interface in the unit.

10

More attractive and advanced format for PDF reports. Support for MTIE and TDEV charts and tables in reports.

11

Graphical export of charts generated from the Event Logger function in PDF format.

12

New Power Management version with more advanced shutdown and reboot features.
