2.15.6 NTP Output Timescale
You can choose the timescale NetClock will use for the time stamps it sends out to its NTP clients
and network nodes. This is done by setting NetClock SystemTime timescale. The options are
UTC, TAI and GPS. Typically, UTC is used for network synchronization.
Note that the System Time affects not only NTP output, but also all other aspects of time man
agement e.g., time distributed via channels other than NTP, logging, and time displayed on the
unit front panel and in the Web UI.
If NetClock is operated as a Stratum2 server, i.e. as a client to a Stratum1 server (see "Con
figuring "NTP Stratum Synchronization"" on page104), the other server will override NetC
lock's System Timescale, should it be different.
Note: IMPORTANT: Make sure you select your desired timescale! Using the
wrong timescale will inevitably result in an undesired time error in your NTP cli
ents.
To change the system timescale NetClock will use for its NTP output (and other outputs):
