11.3.4 Synchronizing a Master/Sync setup to external time sources
In a Master/Sync setup, all time information is recorded by the Master mainframe only.
Synchronization source selection on Sync mainframes is disabled as Sync mainframes
are dedicated to follow the Master mainframe.
For the Master mainframe, the date and time are controlled by either the PC (RTC), PTP
master, IRIG or GPS, depending on the synchronization source selected. The source is
selected in the Perception software.
In the Perception work area:

1. Select the Settings sheet.
2. In the Settings sheet, go to the General group in the task pane and select Main-
frame.
A list of available mainframes is displayed in the settings area.
3. Select the Master mainframe.
