Abstract
There is provided a communication apparatus communicating with a master apparatus generating events at a constant time interval via a network, including: a clocking unit clocking a time; an event generator generating an event based on the clocking unit in accordance with event interval information specifying a time interval for event generation; a storage storing a first timestamp representing a time when the event is generated in the event generator; a receiver receiving, from the master apparatus, a frame containing a second timestamp representing a time of the event generated in the master apparatus; and an event interval corrector correcting the event interval information so as to make a timing of event generation in the event generator closer to a timing of event generation in the master apparatus based on the first timestamp, the second timestamp, and a pre-acquired time difference between the clocking unit and the master apparatus.
