older message is being broadcast, the new message will be
queued in a “First-in, First-out” manner. When the message has
finished, the next message out of the queue will be broadcast.
Request— [default: t] Event Messages are only broadcast in
response to a Request Character. New messages will be queued
in a “First-in, First-out” manner.
Timescale—Used to select the time base for the incoming ASCII time
code data. The entered Timescale is used by the system to convert
the time in the incoming ASCII data stream to UTC time, in order to
produce the Event Broadcast (always in UTC). 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 18 seconds ahead of UTC time)
Request character: This field defines the character that VersaSync
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: Determines the speed that the output port will operate at.
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.
