APPENDIX
Available Formats 1 and 1S are very similar to each other. Most external systems utilizing Data
Format 1 will look for a single-digit day of the month for day 1 through day 9, with a space in
front of each digit ( ^1, ^2, ^3 ... 10, 11... ), whereas other systems need to see a two digit
day of the month for all days 1 through 9 with a leading 0 instead of a space (01, 02, 03...
10, 11...).
If your device requires the two digit day of the month for days 1 through 9 (i.e. 01, 02
etc.), select Format 1.
If your device requires the single digit day of the month for days 1 through 9 (i.e. ^1,
^2, etc.), select Format 1S instead. Refer to "Spectracom Format 1S" on the facing page
for information on Format 1S.
