Currently, these systems usually acquire time information by building a time synchronization network to meet the requirement of high time precision for time synchronization. For a time synchronization network, a time server is usually deployed at the upstream of a transmission network, the time server acquires a time source through a satellite time service receiver, and then transmits time to a downstream application end according to a time synchronization protocol such as PTP (precision time protocol), and in order to verify whether the time synchronization network meets the time precision requirement, a time synchronization test instrument is required to test the time precision.

In summary, the current test instrument has lower test precision and larger limitation when performing time synchronization test.

"and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
The embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for synchronous testing, which specifically includes the following steps:
step 100: determining a first time difference value and a second time difference value, wherein the first time difference value is the clock error of the satellite time of the time equipment and the local time at a first comparison moment, and the second time difference value is the clock error of the satellite time of the test instrument and the local time at a second comparison moment;
step 101: and adjusting the local time of the test instrument according to the first time difference value and the second time difference value.
According to the scheme, the clock error of the satellite time of the time equipment and the clock error of the local time at the first comparison time and the clock error of the test instrument and the clock error of the satellite time of the test instrument and the local time at the second comparison time are adjusted according to the first time difference and the second time difference, and the time source error of the test instrument in the transmission process of receiving the satellite time is reduced, so that the precision of the test instrument for time synchronization test is improved.
The execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention may be a test instrument (which may also be referred to as a test device), which may be used to measure the time accuracy of the device.
The time device in the embodiment of the invention can be a time server or a standard time device.
The standard Time equipment has absolute standard Time, if the standard Time equipment is used, the first Time difference value of the standard Time equipment is the difference value between UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) Time and satellite Time, namely the Time error of the satellite Time relative to the UTC Time, the local Time of the test instrument is adjusted according to the first Time difference value of the standard Time equipment and the second Time difference value of the test instrument, the Time error of the local Time of the test instrument relative to the UTC Time can be indirectly compared, and the absolute Time precision of the test instrument can be improved by adjusting the local Time of the test instrument through the method disclosed by the invention.
The Time server is a Time source of a Time Synchronization network, and transmits Time to a downstream application end through a Time Synchronization Protocol such as PTP (Precision Time Synchronization Protocol).
That is, the present invention provides two schemes to improve the time accuracy of the test meter, which are described below:
in the first scheme, the time equipment is standard time equipment.
The standard time equipment has various types, and the corresponding standard time also has various types, such as UTC, international atomic time TAI (international atomic time), GPS (Global Positioning system) time, and the like, and the specific manner of the embodiment of the present invention is described below by taking the standard time as UTC as an example:
the method includes that a test instrument and a UTC device with an absolute time source UTC acquire satellite time through a satellite receiver, the UTC device has continuously updated local time and satellite time, an IP address in the same network segment as the UTC device is allocated, the UTC device communicates with the UTC device by searching the IP address of the UTC device, after communication is successful, a request for acquiring time information is sent to the UTC device, and after the UTC device receives the request, the UTC device sends the time information, wherein the UTC device sends the time information in various modes, which is exemplified below:
the first sending mode is as follows: the local time and the satellite time are transmitted.
The UTC equipment transmits the received satellite time and local time when receiving the satellite time;
accordingly, after receiving the time information transmitted by the UTC device, a clock offset (first time difference) between the satellite time of the UTC device and the local time is calculated based on the time information.
And a second transmission mode: sending a first time difference value;
the UTC device determines a clock difference between the local time and the satellite time at a time, which difference is transmitted as a first time difference value to the UTC device, wherein the UTC device determines the time of the first time difference value.
Correspondingly, the receiving UTC equipment sends the first time difference value.
For time equipment, the addresses of the time equipment in different networks are different, and the embodiment of the invention supports setting different destination addresses, so that a receiving source can be flexibly selected to send request information.
It should be noted that, different destination addresses are supported to be set to implement communication with the time device, the above-mentioned manner of passing through the IP address is only an example, and the communication with other time devices may also be performed by a wireless access manner or a wired connection manner of the mobile communication network, for example: any mode capable of realizing communication with time equipment, such as a Medium Access Control (MAC) address, is applicable to the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, in order to ensure the accuracy of adjusting the test instrument according to the first time difference and the second time difference, an optional case is that the UTC device and the test instrument acquire satellite time at the same time, and since the satellite positions are stable within a certain time, the comparison times of the two are kept basically consistent. In implementation, it is sufficient to ensure that a time difference between a first comparison time corresponding to the determined first time difference of the UTC device and a second comparison time corresponding to the determined second time difference of the test instrument does not exceed a time threshold.
The first comparison time is satellite time used for determining a first time difference value, and the second comparison time is satellite time used for determining a second time difference value.
For example, if the time threshold between the first comparison time and the second comparison time is 1s, when the satellite time corresponding to the first comparison time is 12.
The method comprises the steps that a test instrument stores a time difference value of the test instrument in a certain time period, after the satellite time of the UTC equipment at a first comparison time is determined, the time range of a second comparison time under a currently set time threshold is determined according to the first comparison time, the time difference value of the test instrument at any time in the time range under the time threshold is found according to the time difference value stored in the test instrument, and the time difference value at the same time as the first comparison time of the UTC equipment is optimally selected to serve as the second time difference value.
The test instrument sends the time information in the sending manner, the test instrument may also send the satellite time at a certain time within the time threshold range and the local time, and the specific implementation manner may be the sending manner of the UTC device described above by determining the second time difference of the test instrument, which is not described herein again.
Scheme II: the time equipment is a time server;
the time server obtains satellite time through the satellite receiver, the satellite time has continuously updated local time and satellite time, the time server is a time source of a time synchronization network, and the synchronization network transmits the time to the tested equipment through time synchronization protocols such as PTP.
The manner in which the test instrument sends the request for obtaining the time information to the time server and the time server sends the time information to the test instrument may refer to the specific implementation of the UTC device, and is not described herein again.
For the way of determining the first time difference of the time server and the second time difference of the test instrument, reference may be made to the specific implementation of determining the first time difference of the UTC device and determining the second time difference of the test instrument, and details are not described here.
In implementation, a first time difference value of the time device and a second time difference value of the test instrument are determined, wherein the first time difference value is a clock error of the satellite time of the time device and the local time at a first comparison time, and the second time difference value is a clock error of the satellite time of the test instrument and the local time at a second comparison time;
and adjusting the local time of the test instrument according to the time difference between the first time difference value and the second time difference value so as to enable the adjusted local time of the test instrument to be consistent with the local time of the time equipment, wherein the adjusted local time is taken as the test reference time by the test instrument.
For example, the satellite time of the UTC device at the first comparison time is represented as m 1 Local time is denoted by n 1 The first time difference value of the UTC equipment at the comparison time is A;
the satellite time of the test instrument at the second comparison time is expressed as m 2 Local time is denoted by n 2 The first time difference value of the UTC equipment at the comparison time is B;
there are various algorithms for determining the first time difference value and the second time difference value by debugging, which are exemplified as follows:
the first algorithm is as follows: the first time difference value is equal to the satellite time minus the local time;
wherein, if A = m 1 -n 1 Then B = m 2 -n 2 If the value of A or B presents negative number, it represents that the satellite time of the corresponding device is slower than the local time.
And adjusting the local time of the test instrument according to the difference value of the first time difference value A and the second time difference value B.
For example, a =10ns, B = -5ns, and then a-B =15ns, it indicates that the satellite time of the UTC device is faster than the local time by 10ns, and the satellite time is slower than the local time by 5s due to the self time source error of the test meter, and it is necessary to reduce the local time by 15ns, that is, the local time of the test meter is slowed by 15ns, and at this time, the local time is used as the test reference time.
And (3) algorithm II: the first time difference value is equal to the local time minus the satellite time;
wherein, if A = n 1 -m 1 Then B = n 2 -m 2 If the value of A or B is negative, the satellite time of the corresponding device is faster than the local time.
And adjusting the local time of the test instrument according to the difference value of the first time difference value A and the second time difference value B.
For example, a =10ns, B = -5ns, and a-B =15ns, it indicates that the satellite time of the UTC device is slower than the local time by 10ns, and the satellite time is faster than the local time by 5s due to the self time source error of the test instrument, and the local time needs to be accelerated by 15ns, that is, the local time of the test instrument needs to be accelerated by 15ns, and at this time, the local time is used as the test reference time.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned manner of calculating the time difference between the UTC device and the test instrument and the first time difference and the second time difference is only an example, and there are various manners of calculating the difference, for example, when calculating the first time difference and the second time difference, a negative value representing the satellite time may be added to the local time, and the difference obtained by subtraction or addition is only a specific operation of a numerical value in a different expression form; for example, when the difference between the first time difference and the second time difference is calculated, the first time difference may be subtracted from the second time difference, and if the result obtained by using different algorithms may have a positive or negative score, the adjustment mode of the local time of the test instrument may be adjusted adaptively, but the adjustment principle is not changed, and any algorithm capable of passing through the first time difference and the second time difference is adapted to the present invention.
After the local time of the test instrument is adjusted, the test instrument takes the adjusted local time as the test reference time, and the time precision of the tested equipment is measured by receiving the time output information of the tested equipment.
In the implementation, the test instrument can be adjusted before the test instrument measures the time precision of the tested equipment, and the test instrument can also be adjusted in the test process of the test instrument. The specific adjustment modes are various, and the following examples are given:
the first adjustment mode is as follows: adjusting the instrument to be tested according to the adjustment record;
and recording the adjustment value of the instrument to be tested, wherein the test instrument can be disconnected from communication in the test process of the instrument to be tested and adjusted according to the adjustment value.
The second adjustment mode is as follows: adjusting the instrument to be measured according to the adjustment record;
the device is communicated with the measured instrument and the time equipment at any time, and the measured equipment can be adjusted periodically.
For the first scenario, as shown in fig. 2, the local time of the test instrument is adjusted in the above manner according to the first time difference of the UTC device and the second time difference of the test instrument, and the adjusted test instrument has higher absolute time accuracy and a more accurate measurement result of the absolute time accuracy of the device under test.
For the second scheme, as shown in fig. 3, according to the first time difference of the time server serving as the time source of the device to be tested and the second time difference of the test instrument, the local time of the test instrument is adjusted in the above manner, and the adjusted local time of the test instrument is consistent with the time of the time server, so that the measurement result of the test instrument on the device to be tested is equivalent to the time deviation caused by the transmission network from the time server to the device to be tested, that is, the time precision of the test instrument during the current network test is improved.
Of these, there are 4 time sync transfer devices in each of fig. 2 and 3, which function to transfer the time sync of the time server to the devices in the synchronization network.
The time sync transfer devices in the figures may be any devices having time sync transfer capabilities, the number of which depends on the particular synchronization network, and the figures are only examples.
It should be noted that, the device for time synchronization in the embodiment of the present invention may be a test instrument, and may also be used as a separate device for adjusting the local time of the test instrument; the present invention may also be integrated into a test instrument as a functional module, and used as a module with an adjustment function in the test instrument.
