ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / Network-centric data acquisition and telemetry systems continue to gain momentum and
adoption. However, inherent non-deterministic network delays hinder these systems’ suitability
for use where high-accuracy timing information is required. The emerging IEEE 1588 standard
for time distribution offers the potential for real-time data acquisition system development using
cost-effective, standards-based network technologies such as Ethernet and IP multicast. This
paper discusses the challenges, realities, lessons, and triumphs experienced using IEEE 1588 in
the development and implementation of such a large-scale network-centric data acquisition and
telemetry system. IEEE 1588 clears a major hurdle in moving the network-centric buzz from
theory to realization.
