I NT DE I NF CO Figure 9: The Processes screen in the GUI 5.4 Time sync AL The system uses GNSS as a source of accurate time for synchronization purposes by default. It is also possible to configure the system to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) in case manual navigation is used (for example if a GPS signal is not available) or for testing. -B 5.4.
5. Start the NTPD service to synchronize system time with the NTP service. /etc/init.d/sysntpd start The system may require a restart for the NTP service to fully initialize. In this case, use the following command: /etc/init.d/sysntpd restart I NF CO 6. To test the process, measure the difference between the system time and the NTP service time using the following command: ntpd -wqp pool.ntp.org Check the offset value, which is listed in seconds.
