Create a node.cfg file in
‘/mod/tsc/site/’
to allow the ATS-6501 to use the TIC
measurement to set the PPS offset while using dpll. Make sure to su before editing this
file.
a.
Set the
PhaseOffset Value
in the node.cfg file to the TIC Card delay.

Verify the PPS alignment at startup:
a.
Power Cycle the ATS-6501
b.
Wait for the OSC Lock Light to come on
c.
Connect to the command port (1700)
d.
Set the
steer_source
to manual.
e.
Use the
force_time
command and set the system time
f.
Wait for the Outputs Enable light to come on.
