the Primary automatically or manually and determine the amount of time
before the Primary is restored.

return to the Primary reference when it becomes valid or locked again
or

Auto

, set the

amount of time to allow between switching from the Secondary refer-
ence back to the restored Primary. The switchback time has a minimum
recovery time of 30 seconds to assure that the Primary is locked and
valid before the module switches back to this source.
