Chrony TimeSync configuration

ifdr_timesync_{get, set}

Time synchronization between the IFDR10 and RCP8 is essential to modeling the antenna location within the IFDR10. This model accounts for the lower availability rate of the antenna pointing information and time latency to then correctly tag each pulse with the correct location. IFDR10 uses Chrony as the synchronization tool.

The configurable parameters in the json table are described in the following table.
