Synchronizing a Master/Slave setup to external time sources
In a Master/Slave setup, all time information is recorded by the Master
mainframe only. Synchronization source selection on Slaves is disabled as
Slave mainframes are dedicated to follow the Master mainframe.
For the Master mainframe, the date and time are controlled by either the PC
(RTC) , PTP master, IRIG or GPS, depending on the synchronization source
selected. The source is selected in the Perception software.
