Time Quality Indications
3. PTP high quality (PTP_OK = 1)
4. PTP nominal quality (PTP_TIM = 1)
5. IRIG-B BNC nominal quality (BNC_TIM = 1)
6. IRIG-B serial port nominal quality (SER_TIM = 1)
The TIME command indicates what source is being used. This is also available
in the analog quantity CUR_SRC as shown in Table 11.2.
If IRIG-B and PTP are not available, then the time can be set via any low-priority
time source: SNTP, DNP3, TIME and DATE commands, front-panel set date/
time, and extended M
IRRORED BITS.
Time Quality Indications
Analog Quantities and Relay Word Bits
You can check the status of timekeeping by checking the relevant analog quanti-
ties or relay word bits. Once a time source is connected, wait at least 20 seconds
to allow for a solid synchronization to take place.
If you are using a time source that provides time-quality information (IRIG-B
with C37.118 or PTP), then the presently reported time quality is available via
the TQUAL analog quantity and the TQUAL1, TQUAL2, TQUAL4, and
TQUAL8 Relay Word bits. Table 11.3 and Table 11.4 show how these are
encoded for IRIG and the two supported PTP Profiles.
