6.9.2 EGD Example 2 – Adding an OCS Timestamp Block
In EGD protocol, a timestamp is sent with every Produced Exchange, indicating when the
Producer sampled the data being sent. For a Consumer of the Exchange to get this information
into an OCS register, define an OCS Timestamp Block for the Consumed Exchange. To do this
for Node 1’s Consumed Exchange 2, for example, perform the following 2 steps:
1. In the EGD Configuration dialog (Figure 6.22), select the Consumed Exchanges tab.
2. Make sure Exchange 2 is highlighted in the upper window (it should be the only Consumed
Exchange in this example) and click on the Add Range button, to define an OCS Timestamp
Block for Consumed Exchange 2. Then fill in the parameters, as shown in Figure 6.23 below,
and click OK.
