Reference Status panel
REFERENCE: Indicates the name type of each reference. These are determined by the
inputs set up for the VersaSync
PRIORITY: Indicates the priority of each reference. This number will be between 1 and
15. References in this panel appear in their order of priority. See "Configuring Input
Reference Priorities" on page131 for more information.
STATUS: Indicates which available input reference is acting as the Time reference and
which available input reference is acting as the 1PPS reference.
Green indicates that the reference is present and has been declared valid.
Orange indicates the input reference is not currently present or is not currently
valid.
Performance panel
Disciplining State—Indicates whether or not the internal oscillator is currently being dis-
ciplined (steered to an input reference).
1PPS Phase Error—An internal measurement (in nanoseconds) of the internal 1PPSs’
phase error with respect to the selected input reference (if the input reference has excess-
ive jitter, phase error will be higher)
10MHz Frequency Error—An internal estimated calculation (in Hertz) of the internal oscil-
lator’s frequency error, based on the phase accuracy error at the beginning and end of
a frequency measurement window (the length of this window will vary depending upon
the type of oscillator installed and the oscillator adjustment algorithm).
Events panel
The Events panel in the bottom-left corner of the HOME screen is a log of VersaSync’s recent
activity. It updates in real time.
Note: If you know the individual reference or output whose status you wish to see,
you can access the Status window of that reference or output directly through the
INTERFACES > REFERENCES or INTERFACES > OUTPUTS drop-down menu.
Status Monitoring via the System Monitor Screen
To display status information pertaining mainly to VersaSync's current hardware status, nav-
igate to TOOLS > SYSTEM > System Monitor.
The information provided on the System Monitor Screen is subdivided into three panels:
System Status panel
This is identical with the HOME screen "System Status panel" on the previous page.
