Output Mode is set as "Request Broadcast."
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 168for 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 System
Time when input reference changes occur. These time jumps could affect NTP and
normal operation of the system.
Baud Rate : Determines the speed that the output port will operate at.
Data Bits : Defines the number of Data Bits for the output port.
Parity : Configures the parity checking of the output port.
Stop Bits : Defines the number of Stop Bits for the output.
SecureSync starts numbering I/O ports with 0 (only 1PPS and 10 MHz out-
NOTE –
puts start at 1, because of the built-in outputs).
