Re: [Linuxptp-devel] [PATCH] Add scaledLastGmFreqChange computation

[Choong, C. L. <chw...@in...>]

Hi Erez, Richard,

There's a potential misunderstanding among users who may believe that both lastGmPhaseChange and scaledLastGmPhaseChange are derived from phase measurements, with the latter representing a scaled version of the former.
This assumption, particularly evident when they are displayed simultaneously in the PMC readout

Additionally, it's worth noting that Wireshark has already addressed a similar naming discrepancy: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-bugs//201602/msg00662.html

Thanks
CL

You mean scripts that invoke pmc?

Yeah, that could cause users' setups to break.

Thanks,
