Request —Event Messages are only broadcast in response to a Request Character.
New messages will be queued in a "First-in, First-out" manner.
Timescale —Used to select the time base for the incoming ASCII time code data.
The entered Timescale is used by the system to convert the time in the incoming
ASCII data stream to UTC time for use by the System Time. The available choices
are:
UTC —Coordinated Universal Time ("temps universel coordonné"), also referred
to as ZULU time
TAI —Temps Atomique International
GPS —The raw GPS time as transmitted by the GNSS satellites (as of July, 2015,
this is 17 seconds ahead of UTC time)
A local clock set up through the Time Management Page—This option will
appear under the name of the local clock you have set up. Refer to "The Time
Management Screen" on page 140for more information on configuring and
reading the System Clock. Local timescale allows a Local Clock to apply a time
offset for Time Zone and DST correction.
Note: The Timescale of the input (as configured in the ASCII time source) must be
set correctly, especially if other input references are enabled. Failure to configure
the Timescale of the input correctly could result in time jumps occurring in the Sys
tem Time when input reference changes occur. These time jumps could affect NTP
and normal operation of the system.
