6.5 Time Synchronization
The successful use of the Nomad system is strictly dependent on consistent timing between the test
laptop and the Audio or Call Server. Time synchronization is critical in the case of a Voice Quality
or Mobile Terminated Call Performance campaign.
Nomad will automatically attempt to synchronize the system clock to atomic time, the standard
used by both the Audio and Call Server. Nomad will first attempt synchronization using the Source
method specified in the GPS/Time area of the Settings tab. If unavailable, Nomad will attempt
synchronization using the other method.
