The XL-GPS responds using the following format:
F51<+>ns
where:
For example, to see the antenna cable delay, enter:
F51
XL-GPS responds:
F51 +000060ns
To set the antenna cable delay, use the following format:
F51NS
For example, to set the antenna cable delay to 100 nS, enter:
F51 100NS
XL-GPS responds:
OK
F52 – Distribution Cable Delay
Use function F52 to display or set the distribution cable delay for the standard CODE (time code) and
1 PPS outputs. F52 compensates for the signal’s travel time from the XL-GPS to its point of use. The
distribution cable delay applies uniformly to all output ports. The as-shipped factory setting is +0 ns. The
range of possible values is +999,999 ns to –999,999 ns. Positive values advance the timing signals,
while negative values retard them.
F
= ASCII character F (f or F for input string).
51
= the function number.
= ASCII space character one or more.
= carriage return character.
= one or more space characters.
= 1 to 6 digit delay from 0 nS to 999999 nS.
ns
= nanoseconds (ns or NS for input string).
= line feed character.
Note: Only positive delays are valid.
