Available Formats 1 and 1S are very similar to each other. Most external systems utilizing Data
Format 1 will look for a single-digit day of the month for day 1 through day 9, with a space in
front of each digit ( ^1, ^2, ^3 … 10, 11… ), whereas other systems need to see a two digit
day of the month for all days 1 through 9 with a leading 0 instead of a space (01, 02, 03…
10, 11…).
If your device requires the two digit day of the month for days 1 through 9 (i.e. 01, 02
etc.), select Format 1.
If your device requires the single digit day of the month for days 1 through 9 (i.e. ^1,
^2, etc.), select Format 1S instead. Refer to "Spectracom Format 1S" on the facing page
for information on Format 1S.

Where:
CR Carriage Return
LF Line Feed
I Time Sync Status (space, ?, *)
^ Space separator
WWW Day of Week (SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT)
DD Numerical Day of Month (01-31)

SS Seconds (00-60)
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.
