Numeric entry mode must be terminated (GTM will be On steady) before any of the
front panel keys will resume normal operation.
3.4.3. Setting the Generator User Bits
When the 8010TM generator is operating in the time data mode, the user can set the generator user
bits using the following procedure. Press the DISPLAY key one or more times to display the generator
user bits if they are not already displayed. The display prompt will show GUB when user bits are
displayed. When the 8010TM is in the time date mode, the user can enter date information as
described in section 3.4.7.
When the 8010TM is in the time rtime or time rub modes, the user bits are being transferred from the
active reader. When the 8010TM is in the time rctl mode, the user bits are determined by the state of
the parallel remote control inputs. Attempts to enter user bits manually from the front panel will not be
allowed.
The ENTER and CLEAR keys are used in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the generator user
bits.
Press the ENTER key to recall the last User Bits that you entered into the generator. The display
prompt at the left of the display will blink while data entry mode is active, and the dual functioned keys
are now changed to their numeric values. If you want to re-enter these User Bits press the ENTER key
to complete the data entry into the generator.
Pressing any numeric key will clear the previous value and place the new value into the numeric
display, starting at the right. Pressing the SHIFT key and the numeric keys 0 to 5 will enter the
corresponding hexadecimal values A to F. Un-entered digits are assumed to be zero. When the
required number of digits are entered, press the ENTER key to complete the data entry into the
generator User Bits.
Attempts to enter too many digits will result in the display being blanked. Re-enter the correct value
and press the ENTER key. Pressing the CLEAR key will cancel the data entry mode without changing
any data.
The numeric keys return to their normal functions when the data entry has been completed by pressing
the ENTER key or cancelled by pressing the CLEAR key. The display prompt will return to its steady
On state when data entry mode has been completed.
Numeric entry mode must be terminated (GUB will be On steady) before any of the
front panel keys will resume normal operation.
3.4.4. Jam Syncing the Generator to the Reader
Pressing the JAM key transfers the active reader's time into the generator clock, then releases the
clock to run on its own. This mode is known as 'momentary Jam sync'. (See section 3.5.1 for
information about selecting the active reader.)
