Truetime Format
The format of the Truetime string is identical to the Sysplex format. The only difference between
the two is that the Sysplex format always uses UTC time. The time contained in the Truetime format
depends on the time mode of Meridian II. For example, if you want an output with this string format
that uses Local Time, then select the Truetime format.
EndRun Format
The time contained in this string depends on the time mode of Meridian II. For example, if you want
the time in this string to be UTC, then set the time mode of Meridian II to UTC. (You can do this by
using the front-panel keypad/display or the console port (see
systimemodeconfig
in
Chapter 9
- Console Port Control and Status ). The following string is sent once each second:
T YYYY DDD HH:MM:SS zZZ m<CR><LF>
