This may be useful for simulation or testing purposes, or if the synchronization state is to be
reached as quickly as possible, even though the battery backed time may be less accurate than an
extenal time reference.
Please note that higher priority references will take precedence over the battery backed time as
soon as they become available.
Please also note that the internally maintained system time should be relatively close to the actual
time, to prevent NTP synchronization problems when transitioning from one input reference to
another, see also "Input Reference Priorities" on page 148.

1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT/OTHER/Time Management .
