0 none: not defined.
1 no synchronization signal: Synchronization signal input not evaluated
2 DCF synchronization signal: only DCF or IRIB-B is evaluated
3 GPS synchronization signal: only GPS receiver evaluated
4 DCF or GPS synchronization signal: depending on which signal is applied first upon deactivation, either DCF or
GPS is utilized
5 NTP synchron signal: Network Protocol used
Synchronization signal output
The device can output the internal clock as a time signal via the synchronization terminal. An adjacent device
which as a time signal recipient is supplied with this signal, can be synchronized in this way. The measurement
then runs synchronously on both devices. This means that different measured values from the exact same time
can be compared. Even without an external clock, it is possible to synchronize multiple devices with each other.
For output of a time signal, no external clock needs to be connected!
Note
The synchronization signal output only exists for devices of the models/BB or older.
5.1.3.2.5 Time zone synchronization rules
The rules delineated below must be adhered to in order to ensure correctness of the time information.
Input signal
Setting in the dialog "Type of device time":
"Time zone" and "Daylight Saving Time"
Data display
Without external synchronization signal
-
Setting of the desired time zone
The measurement device clock is set by the PC, which causes
time conversion according to the PC's and the device's time
zone.
according to time zone set
DCF77, IRIG-B
The time type can not be recognized based on the input signals and its time zone setting must match that of the
external source!
UTC
GMT
Daylight Saving Time =0 ( = 1 is ignored)
GMT
Local time
Find entry according to the local time supplied
e.g. [GMT +01:00] – Berlin
Daylight Saving Time 1 or 0
Attention: The time source must behave the same way!
Meaning: for 0 not change and for 1 perform a time skip.
Time zone set
(there is no correction or time
shift!)
GPS, NTP
For GPS and NTP, either a UTC or GMT signal is expected.
UTC
choice of GMT or local time available
according to time zone set
Device time is corrected
according to the time zone
set.
Note
During a running measurement, there is no adjustment from or to Daylight Saving Time. For
the new time to be applied, a re-start is necessary.
