DST Reference: When configuring a Local Clock that is synchronized to an
input reference (e.g., IRIG input), VersaSync needs to know the timescale of
the input time (Local Timescale, or UTC Timescale), in order to provide
proper internal conversion from one Timescale to another.
Select Local or UTC, depending on the Timescale of the Input reference this
Local Clock is being used with.
Additional Local Clocks may need to be created if multiple input Timescales
are being submitted.
