Configuring a Leap Second

To manually correct the System Time for a leap second:
1. Navigate to

dition NTP does NOT indicate Leap Seconds. The Sync state indicates Leap
Seconds by indicating sync can be 00b, 01b, or 10b.
PTP Packets provide leap indication with a 12-hour notification window.
Some IRIG formats provide leap second notification indicators.
Note: It is the responsibility of the client software utilizing either the
Data Formats or NTP time stamps to correct for a Leap Second
occurrence. SecureSync will make the correction at the right time.
However, because computers and other systems may not utilize the
time every second, the Leap Second correction may be delayed until
the next scheduled interval, unless the software properly handles the
advance notice of a pending Leap Second and applies the correction
at the right time.
