F69 – Time Mode
Use function F69 to select the time type displayed by:
The XLi’s front panel display
“F8 - Continuous Time Once-per-Second” on page 56
“F9 - Time On Request” on page 58
“F90 – Code Output Configuration” on page 116
Select between the following types of time:
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) differs from GPS Time by the addition of leap-second
corrections to compensate for variations in the earth’s rotation.
GPS Time is derived directly from the GPS constellation and doesn’t contain any leap-second
adjustments or other GPS-to-UTC corrections.
Standard Time is UTC plus a time zone adjustment. For example, Pacific Standard Time is UTC
minus 8 hours
Local Time is UTC plus a time zone and a daylight saving time adjustment.
The factory setting is UTC.
Note: A time error can be created when switching to GPS time when the reference is Time Code (non
IRIG 1344). IRIG 1344 resolves this problem.
