second is to be applied, and to delete a leap second.

You can create multiple different Local Clocks, as needed. The names of all Local Clocks
that have already been created are displayed in the Local Clocks panel.

3.2 System Time
The time that VersaSync maintains is referred to as the System Time. The SystemTime is
used to supply time to all of the available time-of-day outputs (such as NTP time stamps,
time stamps in the log entries, ASCII data outputs, etc.).
By default, the SystemTime is synchronized to VersaSync’s input references (such as
GNSS, IRIG, ASCII data, NTP, PTP, etc.).
If a UTC-based time is not required, however, it is also possible to manually set the System
Time to a desired time/date, or to use the unit's battery backed time (Real Time Clock) as
System Time (with an external 1PPS reference).
The flow chart below illustrates how VersaSync obtains the highest available and valid ref-
erence, depending on whether an external source is chosen as reference, or an internal
(User[x], or Local System).
