Warning: The noise parameters for each clock type are set up at the factory for best
performance. Any adjustments to these values must be performed by knowledgeable users as
changes can cause serious performance degradation.
Operators can check the status of the time scale using the settings reference:source and status
reference:frequency:timescale command.

After the unit is set up in time scale, it will take a few hours for the steering to stabilize to where
the phase reported by status kas2 is less than a few ns. It is recommended that the unit is allowed
