Make this controller the Coordinated System Time master
Click on this checkbox to select this controller as the CST master. This does
not mean that this controller IS the master, it means that you intend for this
controller to be the master. If another controller is already the CST master,
“duplicate master detected” appears in the status field.
If you are using a Servo card on this controller, set the CST Master.
Status
Indicates the state of the coordinated system time. There are four status fields,
with a circular indicator to the left of each. This indicator is blue if the
corresponding status condition is true; otherwise, it is clear. The status
conditions are:
• Is the master - you checked the “Make this controller the master” box,
and this controller is the CST master.
• Synchronized with a master - this controller is not the master; its time is
being synchronized by a master.
• Duplicate master detected - you checked the “Make this controller the
master” box, but there is already a CST master.
• Timer hardware faulted - there is a hardware fault.
