Application implementation

Applications can use the external time offsets in different components:

• Real-time PLC: The PLC can query an offset or have a local timestamp corrected accordingly.
• Real-time – C++: C++ TcCOM modules are able to query the offset and act accordingly.
• User mode – ADS device notifications: The timestamps sent with the ADS device notifications can be corrected.
• User mode – ADS Read: The corrected timestamp can be retrieved by an ADS Read. This can be used in ADS Sum commands to retrieve a timestamp along with data.

The interfaces are documented in the corresponding API chapters.
