Time message frame failure: the following signal messages have,
among others, a precision that is less than 10 ms (b)
Time difference between message frame and internal clock > 10 ms
(c)
(message always occurs as a message pair)
STOP of the time stamping (b)
Buffer overflow: the following signal messages are lost until the buff-

internal time of the
IM 153-2 at the mo-
ment of synchroniza-
Synchronization time to which the
internal clock of the IM 153-2 is
set
From the message pair of the special message (c) it can be seen
whether the internal clock has been put back or forward and how
great the time difference was during at the synchronization.
