Abstract
Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for providing modifying sensor time stamp data. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for monitoring and correcting sample time stamps. The method can include receiving packet data from one or more sensors or intelligent electronic devices (IEDs); examining time stamps associated with the received packet data; and determining a variance between the time stamps or an offset between the time stamps and an accurate time source.
Claims20
A method, comprising executing computer executable instructions by one or more processors for monitoring and correcting sample time stamps, the method further comprising:
- receiving packet data from one or more sensors or intelligent electronic devices (IEDs);
- examining time stamps associated with the received packet data;
- and
- determining a variance between the time stamps or an offset between the time stamps and an accurate time source.
A system comprising:
- one or more sensors or intelligent electronic devices (IEDs);
- a deep packet inspector (DPI) in communication with the one or more sensors or IEDs, and comprising at least one memory for storing data and computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions for:
- receiving packet data from the one or more sensors or IEDs;
- examining time stamps associated with the received packet data;
- and
- determining a variance between the time stamps or an offset between the time stamps and an accurate time source.
An apparatus comprising:
- a deep packet inspector (DPI) comprising at least one memory for storing data and computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions for:
- receiving packet data from one or more sensors or intelligent electronic devices (IEDs);
- examining time stamps associated with the received packet data;
- and
- determining a variance between the time stamps or an offset between the time stamps and an accurate time source.
