Timescale: Used to select the time base for the incoming 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 coor-
donné"), also referred to as ZULU time
TAI: Temps Atomique International
GPS: The raw GPS time as transmitted by the GNSS satellites
(as of 5-March-2024, this is currently 18 seconds ahead of UTC
time).
If GPS or TAI time is used, then the proper timescale offsets must be
set on the MANAGEMENT: OTHER > Time Management page. (See
"The Time Management Screen" on page156 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.
A Local Clock can be set up through the Time Management
page: This option will appear under the name of the local clock
you have set up. See for more information. 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 performed. With the Times-
cale field set to “Local”, select the name of a previously created
Local Clock.
Baud Rate: Determines the speed at which the output port will oper-
ate.
Data Bits: Defines the number of Data Bits for the output port.
Parity: Configures the parity checking of the output port.
Stop Bits: Defines the number of Stop Bits for the output.
