XLi with GPS and Time Code References
To configure an XLi with a GPS Reference to use a time code input on J1 as a secondary reference
source, complete the following additional steps:
• Evaluate the relative quality of the time code source versus GPS to ensure that switching from
one to the other is acceptable.
• Set the Time Code as ‘SECONDARY’ using F110 – J1 Input (Time Code, TIET)
.
•Set F74 – Clock Source Control
to “PRI-SEC-SEC”.
• Enable the IRIG alarm in F73 – Alarm Control / Status
.
