Phase Steps
In this example we have a phase jump of approximately 500ns occurring over 300s.
This phase step implies instability in the synchronization distribution network.

GPS Alarm Exception

GPS Alarm Exception
In this example we have an exception caused by a GPS alarm, the exception has
been caused by a loss of GPS reference, not the signal being measured.

Many more synchronization problems are detectable with TimeWatch. With the
TimeWatch managed service, Symmetricom experts are on-hand to advise on
synchronization problems and solutions.
