Abstract :
In this paper, the measuring system SP-4000, which allows for the analysis of timing signals in telecommunication networks, has been described briefly. The solutions that make possible the cooperation between time error meters of this system and the real-time assessment of the parameters have been described. Because of the limitations of computer technology, the user can choose real-time computation for only a single channel. The current version does not allow simultaneous traditional computations and real-time computations. We expect that in the future such computations will be possible for channels that are not chosen for real-time assessment of ADEV, TDEV, and MTIE. We also plan to increase the number of channels capable of real-time computations.
