achieved. The field labeled Capture: show the time of the last trigger pulse at one of
the clock's capture inputs, if available.
The clock´s current status is shown in the field Status:. The first line shows the
mode of operation and the number of satellites which can be used. By default, the
mode should read Normal Operation. The indicator (8/9 SVs) says that currently 8
out of 9 satellites in view can be received. The next lines display whether time
synchronization has been achieved, whether the receiver position has been computed,
and whether daylight saving is currently in effect or not.
Time zone and daylight saving parameters can be viewed or modified by a dialog
window which comes up if the key F5 is pressed. The example below shows the
settings used in Germany:
The German standard time (MEZ) is computed by adding 1 hour (3600 sec) to UTC.
While daylight saving is active, two hours (7200 sec) must be added to UTC to get
German daylight time (MESZ). Every year, daylight saving starts at the first Sunday
after March, 25, at 2 o'clock, it ends at the first Sunday after October, 25, at 3 o'clock.
The parameters shown in the dialog are saved on the radio clock board if the ENTER
key is pressed to close the dialog.
Pressing both the keys Alt and X simultanously lets this program terminate.
