the first time the comparison matches. The JAM@ register must then be re-armed for another jam
event to occur again.
3.4.5. Time Date Mode
In time date mode the 8010TM puts date and time zone information into the user bits. It is capable of
displaying time/date information in either the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) or the local time that
has been adjusted with the appropriate time zone offset from UTC. In local time mode, the generator
encodes the time and date adjusted for the local time zone offset from UTC. In local time mode, the
time is also adjusted for Daylight saving time when the DST TIME menu setting is set to On. In UTC
mode, the generator encodes the UTC time and date.
3.4.6. Entering the Time in Time Date Mode
When the generator mode is in time date mode, the entered generator time is the UTC time not the
Local time. Follow the procedure outlined in section 3.4.2 to enter the time.
3.4.7. Setting the Generator User Bits in Time Date Mode
When the generator mode is in time date mode, a special four-step process is used to enter the user
bits. The date entered is the UTC date not the Local date. First you will enter the year, then the month,
then the day, then a time zone offset.
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. The ENTER and CLEAR
keys are used in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the generator user bits, in date format.
Press the ENTER key to recall the last year that you entered. The leftmost digits of the display will
indicate
. The display prompt at the left of the display will blink while data entry mode is active,
YEAR
and the dual functioned keys are now changed to their numeric values. If you want to re-enter this year
press the ENTER key. Pressing any numeric key will clear the previous value and place the new value
into the numeric display, starting at the right.
When you have entered the correct four digit year, press the ENTER key to proceed to month entry.
The leftmost digits of the display will indicate
want to re-enter this month, press ENTER, otherwise press the numeric keys to enter a valid month.
When you have entered the correct two digit code for the month, press the ENTER key to proceed to
day entry. The leftmost digits of the display will indicate
If you want to re-enter this day, press ENTER, otherwise press the numeric keys to enter a valid day.
When you have entered the correct two digit code for the day, press the ENTER key to proceed to time
zone entry. The time zone is used to adjust the UTC internal clock to allow the generator to output
local time. It is also encoded into the user bits to allow reading devices to compensate for various time
zones. Time zones are entered as an hour and minute offset, but are actually encoded in the user bits
as a 2-digit code according to table 1 in Appendix A.
