timescale for the outputs to also be independently defined, so that they don't
have to be provided in the same timescale.
Other VersaSync outputs will be provided in the same timescale that is selected
in the System timescale field. The NTP output for network synchronization and
the time stamps included in all log entries will be in the same timescale as the con-
figured System timescale. For example, if "GPS" is selected as the System times-
cale, the log entries and the time distributed to the network will all be in GPS time
(time broadcasted directly from the GNSS constellation).

Manually Setting the Time

For some applications, it may not be necessary to synchronize VersaSync to a
UTC-based reference. Or, a GPS reference is not available yet (e.g., because the
antenna is not yet installed), but the system has to be setup and tested.
In such cases, the System Time can be hand-set, and then used as a User [x]-set
System Time. For more information on when to use this functionality, see
"User/User" Reference" on
To hand-set the System Time, and configure this time to be a valid reference:

Note: If synchronization to UTC is NOT required, it is advisable to set
a time in the past or future, so as to avoid users inadvertently con-
sidering the distributed time to be genuine.
Caution: Note that this mode of operation is intended for special use
cases e.g., autonomous systems, where legally traceable time is not
required: This time will be inaccurate/not traceable, since it is not
tied to any reference.
