Serial Output (TOD)
The Serial Output (TOD) consists of one text field, the Format, four combo boxes, the Baud, Data
Bits, Stop Bits and Parity. The Format refers to the format of the time messages sent from both the
RS232 and RS422 serial ports of the NFS-221 once per second
.
Table 7 below lists the characters
and descriptions used in the Format field. The Baud refers to the number of bits transmitted per
second. The Data Bits and Stop Bits follow RS232 standard. The Parity enables the user to check
the validity of the data by using either odd or even parity checking.
The Serial output message is broadcast on J10, the Console port. If enabled, the message will also
be available on the RS422 pins.
