This project contains a software stack for controlling the PPS signal delay that can be fed into a PTP server or other devices using PPS for internal time tagging or synchronization. A detailed explanation is given in the publication proceedings of ISPCS 2026 (Resilience Evaluation Testbed for PPS Manipulation of GNSS Synchronized Measurement Equipment)
The user interface provides a simple-to-use interface to define a trajectory of the desired PPS manipulation. It also interfaces with a local PTP monitoring application that can monitor up to four PTP sources on a PTP capable quad port Ethernet interface.
The SCPI interface is used to remotely control a function generator that is generating the delayed PPS signal.
The nic time reader is used to control the experiment on the receiver side. It includes the control of a warm-up period and the reading period. It furthermore records the monitoring results in a CSV file.
