TIME QUALITY INDICATORS
The XLi provides an estimate of the worst-case error based on the user-entered Time Quality Flags.
This is indicated by each of the four time quality lines changing to the high state in turn as the worst-case
error exceeds the threshold for that line. The time error may be determined from the table below. The
first column shows the pin number of the rear panel 50-pin connector. The second column shows the
time error threshold at the transition from low to high on that pin.
