The time code word and the control functions presented during the time frame are pulse-width
coded. The binary "zero" and index markers have a duration of 20ms, and the binary "one"
has a duration of 50ms. The leading edge is the 10 pps "on time" reference point for all ele
ments.
The binary coded decimal (BCD) time-of-year code word consists of 26digits beginning at
index count 6. The binary coded subword elements occur between position identifiers P
0
and
P
5
(3 for seconds; 7 for minutes; 6 for hours; 10 for days) until the code word is complete. An
index marker occurs between the decimal digits in each subword to provide separation for
visual resolution. The least significant digit occurs first. The BCD code recycles yearly.
Forty-five control functions occur between position identifiers P
5
and P
0
. Any control function
element for combination of control function elements can be programmed to read a binary
"one" during any specified number of time frames. Each control element is identified on the
Control Function Field Table.
