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 168 for more information on configuring and reading the System
Time. 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 time source) must be set
correctly, especially if other input references are enabled. Failure to configure the
Timescale of the ASCII 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.
Request character : This field defines the character that SecureSync needs to receive in
order for a message to be provided when in "Request" mode. This field will only appear if the
Output Mode is set as "Request Broadcast."
Baud Rate : The speed that the output port will operate at.
Data Bits : The number of Data Bits for the output port.
Parity : The parity checking of the output port.
Stop Bits : The number of Stop Bits for the output.
NOTE – SecureSync starts numbering I/O ports with 0 (only 1PPS and 10 MHz out-
puts start at 1, because of the built-in outputs).
