Generator Section; Setting Up For Smpte Time Code Sync - MOTU Traveler-mk3 User Manual

Freewheel clock
Freewheeling occurs when there is glitch or
drop-out in the incoming SMPTE time code for
some reason. The Traveler-mk3 can freewheel past
the drop-out and then resume lockup again as
soon as it receives a stable, readable clock signal.
The Traveler-mk3 cannot freewheel address
without clock. Therefore, the Freewheel Address
setting will always be lower than or equal to the
Freewheel Clock setting, and both menus will
update as needed, depending on what you choose.
The 'Infinite' freewheel setting
The Infinite freewheel setting in the Freewheel
Clock menu causes the Traveler-mk3 to freewheel
indefinitely, until it receives readable time code
again. To make it stop, click the Stop Freewheeling
button.
Stop Freewheeling
The Stop Freewheeling button stops the system if it
is currently freewheeling.
