Notes

(*1)   Both, the TRG module and LTC module each use an internal, free-running 50 MHz crystal oscillator (independent) for their clock counters. The two oscillators are not temperature compensated! Therefore, any change of the room temperature in the North Hall control room causes them to drift. Cooler temperatures usually result in higher frquencies than at warmer temperatures.
(*2)   Absolute TRG clock vs. GPS time measurements cannot be made due to the mentioned temperature-dependent TRG oscillator drifts, as shown in the wave forms of the plots above. The waves are inverse proportional to temperature changes in the North Hall.
