Chapter 6

The Setup Menus

This section should guide you in conﬁguring the Model 1084A/B/C operation using the SETUP

Menus or RS-232C port(s) according to your preferences. Logically, use the setup menus prior to

installing the clock for the ﬁrst time, or changing any of the main board jumpers as described in

Chapter 5.

Two of the most common setup menus for any application are (1) conﬁguring the Local Oﬀset

and Daylight Saving values, and (2) setting up the IRIG-B outputs for the correct time zone. To

operate with the local time in your region, you will need to conﬁgure the Local Oﬀset (from UTC)

and Daylight Savings (or Summer Time), changeover settings. There are a number of other settings

that may be important to your application, however local time oﬀsets are normally fundamental

requirements. For a complete list of setup menus, see Table 6.1.

There are two available methods for conﬁguring the 1084B/C: (1) Using the lower row of keys on

the front panel, and (2) remotely, using either the main RS-232C port or Option RS-232C port.

To conﬁgure Model 1084A, you must use the RS-232C port(s). Both methods are described in this

section. For complete information on conﬁguring all clocks remotely through either serial port,

please refer to Chapter 9, Serial Communication and Command Set.

At the end of each SETUP menu section are references to the corresponding RS-232C command(s)

for conﬁguring these functions.

Table 6.1 lists the various menus used to conﬁgure the operation of these clock models.
