Request—Event Messages are only broadcast in response to a Request Char-
acter. New messages will be queued in a “First-in, First-out” manner.
Timescale: The time base for the incoming time code data. The entered Timescale
is used by the system to convert the time in the incoming data stream to UTC time
for use by the System Time. The available choices are:
UTC—Coordinated Universal Time ("temps universel coordonné"), also
referred to as ZULU time
TAI—Temps Atomique International
GPS—The raw GPS time as transmitted by the GNSS satellites (as of 15-
February-2021, this is 18 seconds ahead of UTC time).
A local clock set up through the Time Management Page—This option will
appear under the name of the local clock you have set up. Refer to "The Time
Management Screen" on page166 for more information on configuring and
reading the System Time. Local timescale allows a Local Clock to apply a time
offset for Time Zone and DST correction.
Note: The Timescale of the input (as configured in the time source) must
be set correctly, especially if other input references are enabled. Failure to
configure the Timescale of the ASCII input correctly could result in time
jumps occurring in the System Time when input reference changes occur.
These time jumps could affect NTP and normal operation of the system.
Request character: This field defines the character that SecureSync needs to
receive in order for a message to be provided when in “Request” mode. This field
will only appear if the Output Mode is set as “Request Broadcast.”
Baud Rate: The speed that the output port will operate at.
Data Bits: The number of Data Bits for the output port.
Parity: The parity checking of the output port.
Stop Bits: The number of Stop Bits for the output.
Event Broadcast Input: Edit Window
To configure the Event Broadcast Input (also referred to as ‘Reference’), go to its Edit
window. For instructions, see: "Configuring Option Card Inputs/Outputs" on page336.
