Abstract
A setup test method for scheduled networks, the method constituted of: transmitting a frame to at least one network switch; responsive to the transmitted frame arriving at a first time gate of the at least one network switch, timestamping the transmitted frame with a first time stamp; responsive to the transmitted frame traversing a second time gate of the at least one network switch, additionally timestamping the transmitted frame with a second time stamp; reading the first time stamp; responsive to the read first time stamp, determining the time of arrival of the transmitted frame at the first time gate; reading the second time stamp; and responsive to the read first time stamp, determining the time of traversal of the transmitted frame through the second time gate.
