4.1.15 PACKET “Q” SET DISCIPLINING GAIN
This packet allows the gain and sense of the disciplining process to be set via the host bus.
Originally this feature was used for Symmetricom developmental purposes, but it would also be
indispensable to anyone attempting to discipline an external oscillator using the TFP. The
format is as follows.
