4.3.7 NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used in the Internet to synchronize computer clocks
to national standard time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It synchronizes the time of a
computer or server (in this case, the LD2000) to another server or reference time source. NTP
is important in maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability in time stamped events.
This page allows users to configure the LD2000's NTP feature.
