Warning: The user configuration for the specific output formats are stored on the system itself.
Replacement modules will automatically be configured with the correct output format as long as
the replacement card is installed in the same slot. Moving the output module to a different slot
causes the system to configure the module with the default output format(s) until that card slot is
properly configured by the user.
2.5.13 4393A Time Interval Counter (TIC) Card
This module has four input ports that can be used to measure the time interval between the internal 1PPS
and up to four external sources and will work in any of the 6 card slots. The default averaging period for
the measurements is 10 seconds and can be adjusted using the ptdavg command. Valid settings are 1, 10,
20, 60, 300 seconds. This setting is global and applies to all of the TIC Cards installed in the 4380A.
