Kvaser MagiSync
Time synchronization is needed to achieve accurate and precise time stamping
between several PC-to-bus interfaces connected to one PC. Since each PC-to-bus
interface uses its on-board clock to set the time stamps.
Kvaser MagiSync is an innovative way to synchronize several different Kvaser USB
interfaces. You do not need external cables - you get instant synchronisation when
you connect the MagiSync enabled Kvaser USB device.
Figure 13: An example setup where all devices are synchronized via MagiSync.
For this to work the Kvaser USB interfaces must reside on the same USB root hub.
If they do not they will not be synchronized, see Figure 13 and Figure 14 on
Page 22.
Usually, a computer has a USB controller with one root hub in a computer. If you
use that one, you do not need an external USB hub to get your Kvaser Leafs
synchronized. The easiest way to verify the setup is to look under the
Synchronization tab in "Kvaser Hardware" in your computer’s control panel. If all
your hardware is placed in one Kvaser MagiSync Group, then you are ready to go.
When connected correctly, all units are synchronized achieving a high precision
virtual clock accurate to the microsecond.
