Paragon-X: Can I create a 1588 PDV replay pattern from a list of values

A 1588 PDV replay pattern can be generated from a list of TIE values and that list can then be applied under 1588 Operating Mode (either Master /Slave Emulation configuration or in-line mode ).

The steps involved are:

1. Create a CSV file containing a single column of values

Open

2. Run a Paragon-X Application and from the Tools Menu select File Converter

Open

3. In the File converter select Convert TIE list for 1588 Replay

4. Select your CSV file

5. And Convert it
