Acquisition of transmission delay
(station-specific parameter, mark "X" if function is only used in the standard direction, "R" if only used in the
reverse direction, and "B" if used in both directions).

may be needed in special cases where satellite links or dialup connections are used (for
instance to establish connection and collect values only once per day or week).
