The antenna supplied with Sentinel has a 20m cable, which equates to a delay of 100ns. 

Setting the Sentinel antenna delay while GNSS is connected could cause a step change in the 1PPS phase input to the internal Rubidium oscillator and will require the Sentinel to be re-disciplined for a period of 6 hours. To avoid this the following procedure should be followed.

Panel
  1. In the

    Settings→MeasurementTimebase

    Settings→Measurement→Timebase page set Internal Reference Disciplining Mode to Never

  2. Press Apply

  3. Connect the GNSS antenna to Sentinel
