Field Name
Description
GOESSTInterval
Time between self-timed transmissions. The value is a string entered in
the format of "Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds". Typically, the assigned
interval is in hours, so the days, minutes and seconds parameters are left
at 0. For example, "00:01:00:00" sets up an hourly interval. Maximum
interval is 14 days; minimum interval is 1 minute.
GOESSTOffset
Time after midnight for the first self-timed transmission as assigned by
NESDIS. The value is a string entered in the format of
"Hours:Minutes:Seconds". Typically, only hours and minutes are used,
and seconds are 0, unless the transmission window is less than 60
seconds. Maximum offset is 23:59:59. A value 0 results in no offset.
GOESRepeatCount
Number of times within the random transmit interval that the TX325 will
transmit the message data. Valid entries are 1 to 3.
