Instrumentation and Measurement - Workstream #6

Open source ecosystem for instrumentation and measurement software and tools. Scalable, reliable, cost-effective and efficient.

- Lead: Anand Ram (Calnex)

Initial Proof of Concept based on Time Card for PPS measurement

Integrate Time Card timestamping for data collection and export

	Core Hardware	Objective
#1	TDC	Small, cheap, and low power use-case
#2	PTM controller	A PCIe based daughter card that can be synchronized with a high stability source (Time Card) over PCIe to scale PPS measurements
#3	UWB	A method for distributing GPS and time to areas where measurements are made, but GPS is not available
#4	DPLL	A discrete design based around a DPLL , removing the need for an FPGA
