String -
Date for Manual Time Offset. Format is MM-DD-YYYY
in UTC. (NOTE: The Value must Contain the '-'
character in the Format previously described.
Manual Time Offset Time 1 String -
Time for Manual Time Offset. Format is hh:mm:ss in

NTP Server parameters define the IP address and port number for the NTP (Network Time Protocol)
server the AAQ should use for time synchronization, assuming one is available for that purpose. If not,
then the
IP Address should be left blank.
The Time Source parameter defines the source used by the AAQ for time synchronization purposes. A
description of the available choices follows. The default value for this parameter is “None.”

None – AAQ will use its internal time reference. Time stamps in AAQ system logs will reflect
time since system start-up, with time zero equal to 0:00 AM on 1 January 2000.

NTP – AAQ will use the NTP server with the IP address and port number specified by the NTP
Server configuration parameters.

NAV RIOM GPS – AAQ will synchronize its time with its own GPS receiver inside the NAV RIOM.
Prior to receiving a valid GPS message from the receiver, the AAQ will use its own internal time
reference.
The Time Service Maximum GPS Drift measures the differential in time between GPS time readings that
compares to the time increment reported, if exceeded, a GPS time error is indicated.
The
AvL Compass settings are needed when the system time source is set to GPS.
The
Manual Time Offset Date parameter is the date for Manual Time Offset. Format is MM-DD-
YYYY in UTC. (NOTE: The Value must Contain the '-' character in the Format previously described.
The
Manual Time Offset Time parameter is the time for Manual Time Offset. Format is hh:mm:ss in
UTC. (NOTE: The Value must Contain the ':' character in the Format previously described.
