recovers first. If the primary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the
primary, but switches over to the secondary when the secondary recovers.
If the secondary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the secondary
even if the primary recovers.
To prevent chatter due to repeated automatic switching between primary
and secondary reference sources, a time-out mechanism of at least 10
seconds is implemented.
Digital to analog converter
The Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) enables the microprocessor to
track, hold, and modify the error signal generated in the digital PLL.
The firmware uses the available memory on the clock controller to provide
error-burst detection and correction. Temporary holdover occurs in the
momentary absence of the reference clock.

Holdover and free-run
In the temporary absence of a synchronization reference signal, or when
sudden changes occur on the incoming reference due to error bursts, the
clock controller provides a stable holdover. Free-run mode is initiated
when the clock controller has no record of the quality of the incoming
reference clock.
If the command "free run" is given, the clock controller enters the free-run
mode and remains there until a new command is received. Free-run
automatically initiates after the clock controller has been enabled.
