CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
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.
