This option deletes the satellites Almanac data stored in the clock. Afterwards the
equipment will take several minutes to rebuild the Almanac.
The almanac consists of orbit courses and status information for each satellite in the
constellation, an ionosphere model, and information to relate satellites derived time
to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
This option enable the Stationary Mode, which keeps the equipment in locked state
even with one satellite. Note the equipment must track at least four satellites before
entering in stationary mode. Besides, if this option is enabled, the equipment must be
in a fixed position.
To enable the Stationary Mode, select the option "Enabled Stationary Mode" and click
on the <Apply> button.
Mostly used in demonstrations, this option forces the clock into a LOCKED state
independently if the antenna is or is not connected, as the internal oscillator is used
