Threshold to activate TFD: If the TFD is activated, indicates the TFOM
value threshold. Below this value, the TFD is high, otherwise the TFD is low.
Generate Bit Synchronization (BS):
Enabled: The second STANAG signal (TOD 2) is used to send the BS
(Bit Stream) signal used with STANAG 4430-STM. When BS is active,
the configuration of TOD 2 is superseded and only used for BS.
Disabled: The second STANAG signal (TOD 2) can be used to send
an independent TOD.
Timescale: Indicates the time base for the incoming time code data. The
entered Timescale is used by the system to convert the time in the incom-
ing 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
22-August-2023, this is 18 seconds ahead of UTC time).
A local clock set up through the Time Management Page—Refer to
"The Time Management Screen" on page186 for more information on
how to configure and read the System Time. Local timescale allows a
Local Clock to apply a time offset for Time Zone and DST correction.
The incoming input time information may be provided as local time, but System
Time may be configured as UTC time, so internal computations need to be per-
formed. With the Timescale field set to “Local”, select the name of a previously
created Local Clock. The Time Zone and DST rules, as configured in the Local
Clock will be applied to the front panel time display. Refer to for more inform-
ation on Local Clocks.
For each Time of Day the following settings are displayed:
Signature Control: Indicates when the signal is present. This function
allows the modulation to stop under certain conditions, see "Signature Con-
trol" on page183.
TOD Format: The user-selectable format being used. Available formats
include:
