   * **Time: delays OK, stable and within 1us (clkoff, maserdelay)**\\ In the eRemoteControl,​ issue the commands ''​clkoff''​ and ''​maserdelay''​. These values should be within 0.5 microsecond of each other and stable (i.e. similar results if you issue the commands again). ​ If not, see [[operations:​monitoring_hb#​clkoff_reading_is_drifting_or_far_from_the_maser-gps_offset|this entry]] in the common Problems section for a remedy.   * **Time: delays OK, stable and within 1us (clkoff, maserdelay)**\\ In the eRemoteControl,​ issue the commands ''​clkoff''​ and ''​maserdelay''​.

   * **Time: Maser status OK**\\ Check the "​Standard VCH-1005A Manager"​ display on the Windows PC (to view it, start a VNC session to time[hb|ke|yg]). Green numbers are good, red are bad. Here's an example of how it should look:​\\ ​ {{:​operations:​maserok.jpg?​200|}}\\ Report any red numbers to Brett ASAP. if you see mention of '​Battery',​ the maser has lost mains power and is running on it's UPS. If so, tell Brett immediately.   * **Time: Maser status OK**\\ Check the "​Standard VCH-1005A Manager"​ display on the Windows PC (to view it, start a VNC session to time[hb|ke|yg]).

   * **Mark5: mk5=dot? response nominal**\\ This is a check of the Mark5 decoder time. Check the time offset in the formatter with this command in the field system:''​mk5=dot?''​. Make sure it reports a small offset (~<10ms) as the final value, that ''​syncerr_eq_0''​ and that ''​FHG_on''​ or ''​FHG_off''​ depending on whether it is currently recording or not. If not, ''​fmset''​ may need to be run.   * **Mark5: mk5=dot? response nominal**\\ This is a check of the Mark5 decoder time.
