The Format of the F8 Output String
The factory setting for the output string format is as follows:
<SOH>DDD:HH:MM:SSQ<CR><LF>
where:
The time quality character, "Q", is one of the following characters:
The time quality characters can not be modified.
Use F11 - Time Output Format(page 50) to change the format of the F8 output string.
Use F5 – Time-Quality Setup(page 43) to set the four time quality thresholds.
<SOH> = ASCII Start-of-Heading character
<CR> = ASCII Carriage Return character
<LF> = ASCII Line Feed character
DDD = day-of-year.
HH = hours.
MM = minutes.
SS = seconds.
mmm = milliseconds.
:= colon separator.
Q= time quality character (see the following table)
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
