The
SNTP
service
can be used to periodically synchronize the iMeter 6's clock through its Ethernet port
providing that there is a local
SNTP Server
on the LAN or if the LAN is connected to the Internet where an
external
SNTP Server
may be accessed. The
SNTP
configuration is supported via the Web Interface or
communications. The iMeter 6 provides the following
SNTP
related setup parameters:

Further, a GPS that has a 1 PPS output can be used to synchronize the millisecond clock through iMeter 6's
DI6 Input
. The programming of the Digital Input is supported via the Front Panel, Web Interface, or
communications. The iMeter 6 provides the following DI setup parameters (please refer
Section 5.10.1
for
a complete description of the DI Setup registers):
Setup Parameters
Options/*Default
DI Function
0=Digital Input*, 1=Pulse Counter, 2=SYNC DI, 3=PPS, 4=Tariff Switch
DI Debounce

PecStar®
iEMS
can be configured to provide regular time synchronization by broadcasting time-sync packets
over the connected medium, whether it be RS485 or Ethernet. The default time of synchronization interval
is 60 minutes.
