The GNSS Reference

With most applications, VersaSync will be setup such that it utilizes a GNSS signal as the primary (if not the only) timing reference.

VersaSync's GNSS receiver utilizes the signal provided by the GNSS antenna.

The GNSS receiver analyzes the incoming GNSS data stream and supplies the GNSS time and 1PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) signal to VersaSync's timing system. The timing system uses the data to control the System Time and discipline the oscillator.

While VersaSync’s default GNSS receiver configuration will likely be adequate for most applications, it is advisable that you review the options and change settings as needed, particularly if you are experiencing poor signal reception.

To access the GNSS Receiver settings:

  1. Navigate to INTERFACES > REFERENCES: GNSS 0.

    2. Note: Typically, there will be only one GNSS reference, numbered "0".

  2. The GNSS 0 status window will open. To open the configuration window, click Edit in the bottom-left corner.

OR:

  1. Navigate to INTERFACES > REFERENCES: GNSS Reference.
  2. Click on the INFO button, or the GEAR button to configure the GNSS settings, or review GNSS reference status information.
