Other VelaSync outputs will be provided in the same timescale that is selected in the
System timescale field. The NTP output for network synchronization and the time
stamps included in all log entries will be in the same timescale as the configured System
timescale. For example, if “GPS” is selected as the System timescale, the log entries
and the time distributed to the network will all be in GPS time (time broadcasted dir-
ectly from the GNSS constellation).
3.2.1.3 Manually Setting the Time
For some applications, it may not be necessary to synchronize VelaSync to a UTC-based
reference. Or, a GPS reference is not available yet (e.g., because the antenna is not yet
installed), but the system has to be setup and tested.
In such cases, the System Time can be hand-set, and then used as a
User [x]
-set Sys-
tem Time. For more information on when to use this functionality, see
Note:
If synchronization to UTC is NOT required, it is advisable to set a
time in the past or future, so as to avoid users inadvertently con-
sidering the distributed time to be genuine.
Caution:
Note that this mode of operation is intended for special use
cases e.g., autonomous systems, where legally traceable time is not
required: This time will be inaccurate/not traceable, since it is not tied
to any reference.
To hand-set the System Time, and configure this time to be a valid reference:
1.
Navigate to
MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Time Management
.
2.
In the
System Time
panel on the left, click the GEAR icon.
3.
Select
Manual Time Set
. Set your time & date, as needed:
System Time
[DATE; TIME]: If you do not select
Set Year Only
, this box
will show the current time in the format:
Year-Month-Day
Hour:Minute:Second
. To set the time manually, click anywhere in the
Sys-
tem Time
field. A drop-down calendar with time-setting sliders will appear:
