Time series overview

Time series (TS) recording enables recording and playing back I/Q data.

Operators can record time series and then use their own off-line programs to process the data.

The time series can be recorded directly on an RVP or on a separate archive host through a gigabit network.

Time series software components

Software component	Description
RVP10 TS API	Where time series reside in memory in RVP10.
Tsexport	Grabs time series from the TS API and sends them over the network through a UDP broadcast. Typically a gigabit network is used for this.
Tsimport	Receives UDP TS packets and recreates the TS API on a local machine.
Tsarchive	Records time series to a local disk. This can be on RVP or a separate networked archive host. Supports both archive and playback. (licensed separately)
Ascope utility	Can be used in playback mode to view either raw time series or processed results from RVP10 processing algorithms.
Tsview utility	Used to view diagnostic printouts of stored time series files. The complete source code is provided to assist users with writing their own applications.

Only the Tsarchive is licensed separately. You can write your own TS record/playback software and still take advantage of the network features such as Tsimport and Tsexport.
