SYNCMDE (Sync Mode)
Note:
The behavior associated with this keyword has changed as of clock card
firmware version 4236B or later. Firmware version can be observed in RTRV-
NETYPE-ALL response. Two descriptions are provided: one for firmware versions
prior to 4236B, and one for firmware version 4236B and later.
Clock Card Firmware prior to 4236B
This keyword controls how the input channel is chosen as a synchronization
source. The keyword format is:
SYNCMDE=<value>
Command Example:
RTRV-EQPT::CLK:SC1687:::PARAMETER=SYNCMDE;
Response Example:
SYMMBITS 00-06-18 12:06:01
M SC1687 COMPLD
"CLK::SYNCMDE = MANUAL"
;
Parameter Value Description
<value> AUTO The input channel is chosen based on the given priorities among
the available channels. Channel availability is determined by
measurements on the channel and by the channel enabled.
MANUAL The input channel is chosen based on manual selection, unless the
given input is disqualified, in which case, it goes into automatic
mode.
SSM The input channel is chosen based on the SSM algorithm, which
combines the measurements and qualifying conditions with the
quality levels for each channel; the highest priority amongst the
qualified input channels is chosen.
FORCED The input channel is chosen based on manual selection, unless the
given input is disqualified, in which case, it goes into holdover.
