YY = Year without century (99, 00, 01 etc.)
^ = space separator
DDD = Day of Year (001 - 366)
HH = Hours (00-23 UTC time)
: = Colon separator
MM = Minutes (00-59)
SS = Seconds (00-60)
. = Decimal Separator
SSS = Milliseconds (000-999)
L = Leap Second Indicator (space, L)
D = Daylight Saving Time Indicator (S,I,D,O)
The leading edge of the first character (CR) marks the on-time point of the data stream.
The time synchronization status character I is defined as described below:
(Space) =
Whenever the front panel time synchronization lamp is green.
? =
When the receiver is unable to track any satellites and the time synchronization
lamp is red.
* =
When the receiver time is derived from the battery backed clock or set manually
through the Setup Port Interface.
The quality indicator Q provides an inaccuracy estimate of the output data stream. When the
receiver is unable to track any GPS satellites, a timer is started. Table 6-2: Table of Quality
Indicators lists the quality indicators and the corresponding error estimates based upon the GPS
receiver 1 PPS stability, and the time elapsed tracking no satellites. The Tracking Zero Satellites
timer and the quality indicator reset when the receiver reacquires a satellite.

The leap second indicator L is defined as:
(Space) =
When a leap second correction is not scheduled for the end of the month.
L =
When a leap second correction is scheduled for the end of the month.
The Daylight Saving Time indicator D is defined as:
S =
During periods of Standard time for the selected DST schedule.
I =
During the 24-hour period preceding the change into DST.
D =
During periods of Daylight Saving Time for the selected DST schedule.
O =
During the 24-hour period preceding the change out of DST.
