Note:

  The TIC Measurement results are reported at the ptdavg value in seconds and will only be 

reported on those ports with ac active 1PPS input. 
 

Events: 

As events occur and/or the system parameters change, these changes will be updated on the status 
port.  If the value has not changed it will not be reported.
