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:

<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)

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

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.
