1PPS time synchronization signal for ION9000

[Stuart_Cheng]

Hi All

In addition to the protocol mentioned below, does ION9000 also support the 1PPS time synchronization protocol? Thanks

No, the ION9000 does not support 1PPS for time synchronization. The internal clock typical drift is about 2ppm (5 seconds per 30 days). 

Never user more than one external synchronization source at a time. The ION9000 supports the following methods for time adjustment and synchronization:

1. PTP

2. IRIG-B (demodulated)

3. NTP (and SNTP)

4. ION Protocol (serial or Ethernet)

5. serial RS485: Truetime/Datum, Arbiter, or Arbiter-Vorne

6. Line Frequency (relative to configured Nominal Frequency)

Hi @DanL 

Since there is a specification requirement for 1PPS from customers, is there any way we can make ION9000 available for 1PPS signal? Thanks

Hello @Stuart_Cheng ,

Feature requests need to go through sales channels so that they can be feed into a tool used by offer managers to compare different feature requests.
