• Purpose
• This TVDA provides recommendations, guidelines, examples and
performance measurements to help users implementing a system time
stamping solution. Meanwhile, to design a system time stamping
solution for sequence of events (SOE) application.
• Demonstrates
• This TVDA takes a cooling control system as example to demonstrate
how to find the root cause easily by means of SOE application.
• There are three types of module supporting the system time stamping
solution, which include the M340/eX80ERT, eX80CRA and M580 CPU.
In the system time stamping architecture, the OFS is used to
automatically transfer the events from the time stamping module to the
