SNTP client/PTP Slave is synchronized with a T200 SNTP server/PTP Grand Master
configured without external time base (no reference to absolute time).
3
SNTP client/PTP Slave is synchronized with a T200 SNTP server/PTP Grand Master with
external time base (GPS) that has lost GPS coverage (valid reference to absolute time).
4
SNTP client/PTP Slave is synchronized with a T200 SNTP server/PTP Grand Master with
external time base (GPS) with GPS coverage (valid reference to absolute time). Best 
accuracy.
