dow will vary depending upon the type of oscillator installed and the oscillator 
adjustment algorithm).

Current DAC Setting

: Current DAC value, as determined by the oscillator dis-

ciplining system. The value is converted into a voltage that is used to discipline the 
oscillator. A stable value over time is desirable and suggests steady oscillator per-
formance (see also the graph in the History Panel).

DAC Step

: Step size for adjustments to the internal oscillator, as determined by 

the oscillator disciplining system. Larger steps = quicker, but coarser adjust-
ments. The step size is mainly determined by the type of oscillator.

TFOM

: The Time Figure of Merit is VelaSync’s estimation of how accurately the 

unit is synchronized with its time and 1PPS reference inputs, based on several 
factors, known as the Estimated Time Error or ETE. The larger the TFOM value, 
the less accurate VelaSync believes it is aligned with its 1PPS input that is used to 
perform disciplining. If this estimated error is too large, it could adversely affect 
the performance of oscillator disciplining. The available TFOM range is 1 through 
15. 

Max TFOM for Sync

: Value, as set under 

"Configuring the Oscillator" on page 153

Temperature(s)

: Three temperatures are displayed:

Oscillator 

temperature, which has an effect on oscillator accuracy, and 

therefore can be used to interpret oscillator performance. 

Board

 temperature (measured on the main board, sometimes also 

referred to as 'System temperature')

CPU 

temperature

Note: 

Oscillator temperature is plotted over time in the 

His-

tory

  panel   on  the  right,  while  graphs  for  board  and  CPU 

temperature  can  be  found  under
