2.4.1 Standalone Media Converter
2.4 Examples of Usage
Physical layer
conversion
The Ethernet channels of the VN5610(A) can be configured independently. That way
the VN5610(A) can be used as a media converter between an ECU using the
100BASE-T1 physical layer and any standard Ethernet equipment (e.g. loggers)
using 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T.
Setup
Figure 3: Media converter
2.4.2 Transparent Ethernet Monitoring
Monitoring The VN5610(A) can be used for Ethernet monitoring between an ECU and a con-
nected sensor without influencing the Ethernet bus (bypassing). In this particular
setup the VN5610(A) receives and forwards incoming data packages from one channel to the other.
Setup
Figure 4: Bypassing Ethernet data
This allows applications such as CANalyzer.Ethernet or CANoe.Ethernet to trace Ethernet data with accurate time stamps.

1000BASE-T1000BASE-T approx. 0.9 µs
* Processing time without additional frames through the application
(CANalyzer.Ethernet/CANoe.Ethernet)
Note
The MAC bypassing latency is independent of the frame length (Cut-through mode)
if there are no bypassing conflicts (e.g. additional frames sent by an application).
If additional frames are sent by an application, the bypass latency depends on the
frame length (Store-and-Forward Mode).

Time stamp clock for
Ethernet and CAN
The VN5610(A) uses a common time stamp clock for Ethernet and CAN events. So if
the measurement setup is extended by a CAN network, the generated CAN time
stamps are always in sync with the Ethernet time stamps which helps analyzing the
network.
Figure 7: Extended measuring setup
Note
Additional Vector network interfaces can be synchronized by software or hardware
(see section Time Synchronization on page 43).

Time stamps

Generating
time stamps
Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or event
sequences on a specific bus.
Figure 31: Time stamps of two CAN channels in CANalyzer
Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accurate
time stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network interface. The base for these time stamps is a common hardware clock in the device.
Figure 32: Common time stamp clock for each channel
If the measurement setup requires more than one Vector network interface, a synchronization of all connected interfaces and their hardware clocks is needed.
Due to manufacturing and temperature tolerances, the hardware clocks may vary in
speed, so time stamps of various Vector devices drift over time.

To compensate for these time stamp deviations between the Vector network interfaces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (see
next section).
Note
The accuracy of the software and hardware sync depends on the interface. Further
information on specific values can be found in the technical data of the respective
devices.

Synchronization
by software
The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications
without any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network interfaces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose no
further hardware setup is required.
Figure 34: Time stamps of devices are synchronized to the PC clock
The setting of the software time synchronization can be changed in the Vector Hard-
ware Config tool in General information | Settings | Software time synchronization.
Figure 35: Switching on the software synchronization
> YES
The software time synchronization is active.
> NO
The software time synchronization is not active. Use this setting only if the Vector
network interfaces are being synchronized over the sync line or if only a single
device is used.

Synchronization
by hardware
A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardware
synchronization which has to be supported by the application (e.g. CANalyzer, CANoe). Two Vector network interfaces can therefore be connected with the SYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, part number 05018).
In order to synchronize up to five devices at the same time, a distribution box is available (see accessories manual, part number 05085).
Figure 36: Example of a time synchronization with multipledevices
Manual VN5610/VN5610A Version 2.0 47
Figure 37: Example of a time synchronization with VN8912 and additional devices
At each falling edge on the sync line which is initiated by the application, the Vector
network interface generates a time stamp that is provided to the application. This
allows the application to calculate the deviations between the network interfaces and
