corresponding time quality characters in text outputs of F8 and F9. (See “F8 – Continuous Time Once-
per-Second” on page 42 and “F9 – Time On Request” on page 44 )
In addition, a time quality indicator is encoded in outputs of the IRIG-B AM or DC Expansion module (see
“F90 – Code Output Configuration” on page 72) .
For more information on time quality indicators, see “IRIG Standard Format A” on page 140 .
The XL-GPS accepts threshold values from 200 nS to 40000000000 nS.
The factory settings for F5 are as follows:
• Time quality reporting - enabled
• First time quality flag 1,000 ns
• Second time quality flag 10,000 ns
• Third time quality flag 100,000 ns
• Fourth time quality flag 1,000,000 ns
