Symmetricom TimeMonitor Software

Symmetricom offers the TimeMonitor Analyzer software with additional modules, including the
TimeMonitor XLi Measurement Software. The primary function of TimeMonitor XLi Measurement
Software is to log Time Interval Event Time (TIET) and Frequency Measurement (Freq Meas) data from
the XLi. That data can then be imported to the TimeMonitor Analyzer for further analysis.
TimeMonitor is a cost-effective tool for bringing together synchronization measurement data from a
variety of sources and performing a wider range of analysis functions. Its key features are:
• Multiple Signal Capability
• Extensive and Flexible Analysis
• Runs on Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista
• Perform Extensive Analysis on Collected Data with the Companion Software TimeMonitor
Analyzer
Note:
TimeMonitor XLi Measurement Software is designed for use with the Freq Meas and/or TIET soft-
ware options enabled on the XLi.
Note:
TIET and Freq Meas options to be ordered separately.

Logging TIET and Freq Meas Data

1. Set up a serial or network port connection between the PC and the XLi.
- If needed, use the XLi's F4 Serial Port Configuration or F100 Network Port Configuration.
- If needed, use the RS-232 or TCP/IP buttons to configure TimeMonitor XLi Measurement.
2. In TimeMonitor XLi Measurement, check that the settings for Setup match the inputs to the XLi (see
Figure 19).
- If needed, use F110 J1 Input Configuration or F113 J3 Input Configuration to check the
corresponding settings on the XLi.
3. Check that the Comms and Measurement settings are correct (see Figure 19).
4. Enter a Measurement Title.
5. Click the Start button in TimeMonitor XLi Measurement to start logging the measurement data.
Please note that start and end data can be 'trimmed' later on in TimeMonitor Analyzer.
6. When the data collection process is complete, click the Stop button. The application displays the
path and filename of the data file just below the graph. (To modify the file name or location, click this
path).
7. Click the Exit button. The TimeMonitor XLi Measurement software closes.
