C
Response:
Q yy ddd hh:mm:ss.000
Format: Q = Time quality indicator, and may be represented by:
= meaning it is locked with maximum accuracy.
? = (ASCII 63) unlocked, accuracy not guaranteed
= (space) used for clarity only and graphically represents the location of an ASCII space.
Broadcast Mode – ASCII + QUAL
Command: B6, O6
B6 configures the clock to broadcast from the main RS-232 port the time-of-day as ASCII data
appended with a time quality indicator. O6 configures the clock to broadcast from the option
RS-232 port. ASCII + QUAL means Standard ASCII plus Time Quality Indicator.
Response: <soh>ddd:hh:mm:ssQ
Format: soh = Hex 01 – the start bit of the soh character is transmitted on time.
Q = Time quality indicator. May be represented by:
(space) = locked, maximum accuracy
. = (ASCII 46) Error < 1 microsecond
* = (ASCII 42) Error < 10 microseconds
# = (ASCII 35) Error < 100 microseconds
? = (ASCII 63) Error > 100 microseconds
Broadcast Mode – YEAR + ASCII
Command: B8, O8
B8 configures the clock to broadcast from the main RS-232 port, the year and time-of-day as ASCII
data appended with a time quality indicator. O8 configures the clock to broadcast from the option
RS-232 port. YEAR + ASCII is the same as ASCII plus Time Quality Indicator adding the four
digit year to the beginning of the string.
Response: <soh>yyyy:ddd:hh:mm:ssQ
Format: soh = Hex 01 – the start bit of the soh character is transmitted on time.
Q = Time quality indicator. may be represented by:
space = locked, maximum accuracy
. = (ASCII 46) Error < 1 microsecond
* = (ASCII 42) Error < 10 microseconds
# = (ASCII 35) Error < 100 microseconds
? = (ASCII 63) Error > 100 microseconds
