EVENT OR DEVIATION?
EVENT SELECTED
The second line may also display “DEVIATION”. Press the UP or DOWN key to change to the
desired mode and press the ENTER key.
Configuring Event/Deviation Mode from COM1 or COM2
Use the m,nEV command to configure the Event/Deviation function to either event recording or
1 PPS deviation measurement. For example, “0ev” configures the 1094B to the Event Mode, and
“1ev” configures the 1094B to the Deviation Mode. For command reference, see Section 10.3.5.

Accessing or Displaying Event Data
Displaying Data on the Front Panel
Event and Deviation data can be accessed from either the front panel, COM1 or COM2.
The following paragraphs describe the steps required to access data using the front panel
EVENT/DEVIATION key. When pressing the EVENT/DEVIATION key, the display will en-
ter a circular scroll, which begins by showing the data if any is present. The readout will display
one of the event times (001 to 300), using the following format:
EVENT nnn
ddd:hh:mm:ss.sssssss
Where:
”nnn” = event number (001 to 300)
”ddd” = day of year of the event (1 to 366)
”hh” = hour of the event (00 to 23)
”mm” = minute of the event (00 to 59)
”ss.sssssss” = second and fractional seconds of the event
Press the UP or DOWN key to scroll the display through all events presently stored in the
event time buffer. When you exit and then re-enter the event display mode, it will display the same
event record number as when you exited. However, the data itself may be changed if it has been
overwritten. Note that viewing an event on the front panel marks its position as available to be
overwritten up to the event currently being viewed, but not after.
Accessing Data From COM1 or COM2
Access individual event data through COM1 or COM2 using the two serial commands, nED or
EV. Use nED, with n = 1 – 300, to view a specific event by number. For example, type “29ed”
to view event number 029. Type “198ed” to view event number 198. Use EV repeatedly to scroll
up through the event buffer beginning at record 001. For example, type “ev”, “ev” and you will
see record 001 and 002. If you send “ev” later, it will begin at record 003. Full details on these
commands are located in Section 10.3.5.
