Forcing Unit To Send New Time in Time Reference Mode
Note: The "sync tod-source" command forces the TimeProvider 5000
to immediately start using the new reference time. The use of this
command should be carefully planned since it may cause jitter in the
1PPS output of the TimeProvider 5000.
The user may need to manually sync the IOC time and phase to the time
reference's time and phase if there is any difference. After the reference mode is
changed to time and the system is locked to the reference, the TP5000 response
depends on whether Auto-Sync is enabled and whether the TP5000 has left
warm-up. The possible system responses are shown in
