Use the following techniques to troubleshoot errors you might encounter while selecting and locking to a time reference:

  • Ensure the time reference you would like to select is enabled using the Is Time Ref Enabled property.
  • Ensure that you selected the time reference you want to use for your device using the Selected Time Reference Name and/or Selected Time Reference Type properties.
  • Correct for the offset from the time reference using the Time Reference Correction property. You can return the offset using the Offset from Time Reference (s) or Offset from Time Reference (ns) property.
  • Verify that the time reference you would like to select is compatible with the target. The 802.1AS time synchronization protocol is supported only on Linux RT targets.
