201’s active clock register.

The DGy 201 internal real time clock can be synchronized to an external
time reference so that it is always set accurately. Accurate time
references are provided by Network Time Servers (NTS) over the
internet using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Alternatively an optional IRIG-B time reference can be used.
The Clock synchronization section provides the ability to set operation
with either type of external time reference.

~ Radio buttons are provided to set the DGy 201’s
timecode synchronization functions, including NTS and

assignments.
