4.3 OPTO-INPUT TIME STAMPING
Each opto-input sample is time stamped within a tolerance of +/- 1 ms with respect to the Real Time Clock. These
time stamps ar
e used for the opto event logs and for the disturbance recording. The device needs to be
synchronised accurately to an external clock source such as an IRIG-B signal or a master clock signal provided in
the relevant data protocol.
For both the filtered and unfiltered opto-inputs, the time stamp of an opto-input change event is the sampling time
at which the change of state occurred. If multiple opto-inputs change state at the same sampling interval, these
state changes are reported as a single event.
