5. Select Anti-creep to set the minimum meter recognition values; select one for each phase. To
enable Anti-Creep, first select Anti-Creep ON under DSP Mode tab.
6. Do not select Internal Calibration. These are factory-installed, internal calibration values
used to standardize the 1133A accuracy.
7. Click Apply to install these values and OK to close the window.

Configure Ports – IRIG-B
To configure the IRIG-B output from the 1133A requires only two settings be configured: set the
Time Mode to UTC or Local, and select the 1344 Mode ON or OFF. The screen shot in Figure 7.5
illustrates where to adjust these settings. The 1344 Mode refers to the C37.118 specification for
Phasors.
Click the Time Mode arrow and choose either UTC or Local. UTC stands for Universal Time
Coordinated, based on the Prime Meridian that passes through Greenwich, England.

(Control Function) portion of the IRIG-B code, which includes the following items: Year
−
two
digits, Leap Second Pending (LSP)
−
1 bit, Leap Second (LS)
−
1 bit, Daylight Saving Pending
(DSP)
−
1 bit, Daylight Saving Time (DST)
−
1 bit, Time offset sign
−
1 bit, Time offset
−
4
bits, Time Quality
−
4 bits, Parity
−
1 bit.
