*) Astronomically a range –11 ... +12 h would be enough, but for political
and geographical reasons a larger range is needed.
**) If external synchronization is used this parameter will be set
automatically.
***) Set the DI delay to its minimum and the polarity such that the leading
edge is the synchronizing edge.
Synchronisation with DI
Clock can be synchronized by reading minute pulses from
digital inputs, virtual inputs or virtual outputs. Sync source is
selected with SyncDI setting. When rising edge is detected from
the selected input, system clock is adjusted to the nearest
minute. Length of digital input pulse should be at least 50 ms.
Delay of the selected digital input should be set to zero.
Synchronisation correction
If the sync source has a known offset delay, it can be
compensated with SyOS setting. This is useful for
compensating hardware delays or transfer delays of
communication protocols. A positive value will compensate a
lagging external sync and communication delays. A negative
