The leading edge of the first character (CR) marks the on-time point of the data
stream.
The time synchronization status character (I) is defined as described below:
? When the receiver is unable to track any satellites and the time synchronization lamp is
red.
* When the receiver time is derived from the battery backed clock or set manually through
the Setup Port Interface.
The quality indicator (Q) provides an inaccuracy estimate of the output data
stream. When the receiver is unable to track any GNSS satellites, a timer is star-
ted. "Quality indicators" below lists the quality indicators and the corresponding
error estimates based upon the GNSS receiver 1PPS stability, and the time
elapsed tracking no satellites. The Tracking Zero Satellites timer and the quality
indicator reset when the receiver reacquires a satellite.
