The length of GPRMC messages sent by existing GPS modules on the market is not consistent.
The length of GPRMC messages reserved in the DIFOP packet of RS-Ruby Plus is up to 86 bytes,
which is compatible with the GPRMC message format sent by most GPS modules on the market.
If an incompatibility occurs, please contact RoboSense technical support.

4.6.3 PTP Time Synchronization

PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is a time synchronization protocol, which itself is only used for
high-precision time synchronization between devices, but it can also be borrowed for frequency
synchronization between devices. Compared with various existing time synchronization
mechanisms, PTP has the following advantages:
1) Compared with NTP (Network Time Protocol, Network Time Protocol), PTP can meet
higher-precision time synchronization requirements. NTP can generally only achieve sub-second
time synchronization accuracy, while PTP can reach sub-microsecond time synchronization
accuracy.
2) Compared with GPS (Global Positioning System), PTP has lower construction and maintenance
costs. And it is also of special significance in national security because it can get rid of the
dependence on GPS.
