Configuring Input Reference Priorities

VersaPNT can use numerous external time sources, referred to as "references". As external time sources may be subject to different degrees of accuracy and reliability, you can determine in which order (= priority) VersaPNT calls upon its external time and 1PPS references.

For additional information, see also Input Reference Priorities.
