A blank tally code indicates the peer has been discarded either because it is unreachable, it is synchronized to
the same server (synch loop) or the synchronization distance is too far.
This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its clock is not correct. This is referred to as a
falseticker.
This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its synchronization distance is too poor to be
considered a candidate.
This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its offset is too a significant compared to the
other peers. This is referred to as an outlier.
This tally code indicates the peer is considered a candidate.
This tally code indicates the peer is considered a candidate, but it is not among the top six sorted by
synchronization distance. If the association is short-lived, it may be demobilized to conserve resources.
This tally code indicates the peer is the system peer.
This tally code indicates the peer is the system peer, but the synchronization distance is derived from a Pulse-
Per-Second (PPS) signal.
