UTC Time

These instructions will explain how to associate Surveyor data points with accurate UTC time.

If you are running running the Surveyor while connected to SonarLink, .

If your application does not support running SonarLink with the Surveyor, you can configure the Surveyor to use a specific NTP server for accurate UTC time. To do this, ensure you have access to an NTP server and send a ping packet to the Surveyor.

  • If the Surveyor and the NTP server are on the same subnet, you can set both subnet_mask and gateway_ip to 0.

  • If the NTP server is on a different subnet and requires routing through a gateway, you must specify the appropriate subnet_mask and gateway_ip.

In both cases, the Surveyor will automatically synchronize its time using either SonarLink or the designated NTP server, ensuring all data is accurately timestamped with UTC time.
