The DGy 201x internal real time clock can be synchronized to an external time reference so that it is always set accurately. Accurate time references are provided by conventional Network Time Servers (NTS) over the internet using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Alternatively an optional IRIG-B time reference can be used. The Clock synchronization section provides the ability to set operation with either type of external time reference.

Radio buttons are provided to set the DGy 201x’s timecode synchronization functions, including NTS and IRIG (IRIG-B is an optional DGy 201x feature) assignments.

NTS Time Synchronization

~At least one IP address must be in the NTS List before the Network Time Server radio button can be selected. Up to three IP addresses can be set. Be sure that the DGy 201x can access the time server over the network connection. In Chapter 6, refer to the RealTimeClockSYNC command description for details.

~To put an entry into the NTS list box, click on the Edit button associated with the NTS list.

~Enter the new server IP address and press ENTER.

~To change an existing entry, first select the desired device using the drop down NTS list box. Click on the Edit button. Enter the new server IP address into the NTS list box and press ENTER.

~Click the Network Time Server radio button to activate NTS synchronization.

OR

IRIG-B Time Synchronization

~If the IRIG option is installed, the IRIG Standard must be selected before the IRIG radio button can be selected. Select the required input type, DCLS or 1kHz modulated, using the drop down menu.

~In the Clock Synchronization section click the IRIG radio button to activate IRIG synchronization.
