NOTE: Except for testing purposes, you should not choose a date
other than the current day.
Set Year Only: Some legacy time formats (e.g., IRIG) do not support
years. Checking this box will open a data entry field to manually set
the year. Safran recommends not to utilize this feature, unless the
IRIGformat you are using does not provide a YEAR field.
Synchronize to Battery Backed Time on Startup: See "Using Battery
Backed Time on Startup" below.
4. Click Submit at the precise moment desired.
5.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Reference Priority.
6.
In order for the User time to be a considered a valid reference, verify that
the Reference Priority table includes an "Enabled" User [x] Time, and 1PPS
reference ("User/User"). For more information, see "Input Reference Pri-
orities" on page204 and "The "User/User" Reference" on page210.
7.
Move (drag & drop) the User time to the top of table, and disable all other
references.
8. Let Holdover expire. (Set it to a very short duration, if desired:
i.
Navigate to MANGAGEMENT > OTHER: Disciplining.
ii.
In the Status panel, click the GEAR icon.
iii.
In the Oscillator Settings window, set the Holdover Timeout.)
9.
Check on the HOMEscreen that User0 is displayed, with a green STATUS.
Note that the Disciplining State will remain yellow, once Holdover has
expired, since the system time is not synchronized to a reference.
Note: Contrary to the User reference discussed above, the Local Sys-
tem reference can be used for Time, or 1PPS (but not both). For more
information, see "The "Local System" Reference" on page209.
3.2.1.4 Using Battery Backed Time on Startup
Upon system startup, by default SecureSync will not declare synchronization
until one of the external references becomes available and valid.
This functionality can be overridden by enabling the Synchronize to Battery
Backed Time on Startup, thus allowing the battery backed time to be used as
System Time upon system startup. The Battery Backed Time is also referred to as
the time maintained by the integrated Real Time Clock (RTC)
