The time quality character, "Q", is one of the following characters:

SPACE = Time error is less than time quality flag 1's threshold

= Time error has exceeded time quality flag 1's threshold

= Time error has exceeded time quality flag 2's threshold

= Time error has exceeded time quality flag 3's threshold

= Time error has exceeded time quality flag 4's threshold, or a reference source is unavailable

Note:

F8 does not display milliseconds, regardless of the format defined in F11.

Suppress the "DDD", "HH", "MM", "SS", "mmm", and "Q" segments of F11 by placing an "X" (Shift-X) in

the leading position of any segment, followed by any placeholder characters, and the following

separator. For example, to suppress "DDD", enter:

F11 X--:

To see the resulting change to F11, enter:

F11

F11, with "DDD" suppressed, responds:

F11 XDD:HH:MM:SS.mmmQ

With "DDD" suppressed, the output of F8 would look like this example:

:16:23:32

Ending a format string early (no ":" or "." separator at the end) with a carriage return, enables the

remaining un-typed characters. This makes it easy to restore the default F11 formatting.

To return F11 to its default format, enter:

F11 D

To display the restored defaults, enter "F11" again. F11 responds:

F11 DDD:HH:MM:SS.mmmQ

The "DDD", "HH", "MM", "SS", "mmm", and "Q" segments can not be replaced with characters, they can

only be suppressed.

The ":" and "." separators can be replaced with ASCII characters or suppressed using "X". For example,

to replace the separators with characters, enter:

F11 ---D--H--M--S

When you check the results by entering "F11", F11 responds:
