4 Configuration and Equipment Log
This chapters describes the configuration and log files of tīma master clocks
and ways to access them.
See chapter 5 on page 21 for a description of the settings and how they affect
the behavior of the master clock.
4.1 The Configuration File
tīma’s configuration file is a single text file (or ASCII file), segmented into Sec-
tions. In each section there are one or more Variables. Values are assigned
to variables using the equal sign (‘=’).
The structure is very similar to the INI files used in Microsoft Windows, see
appendix
G for a sample configuration file.
The configuration file is named
tima.cfg
. It can be downloaded/uploaded
tima.cfg
using the SFTP protocol (user “cfg”, see section 4.3 ). Some SFTP clients, like
WinSCP (see section 4.4 ), also allow on-line editing of the configuration file.
If editing off-line, use only “pure text” editors (like Notepad on Windows).
Do NOT use a word-processor (like Microsoft Word or Wordpad) to edit the

configuration file. Word processors insert hidden formatting characters that
will not be correctly interpreted by the master clock.
Sections and variables are case insensitive, any combination of upper and
lower-case letters will be accepted. Most values are also case insensitive, the
exception being passwords.
Blank characters (ASCII 32) and tabs (ASCII 08) can be freely used to improve
the legibility of the configuration file.
4.1.1 Sections
The configuration file is segmented into Sections, declared by the following
syntax:
[SectionName]
i.e. the section name enclosed in square brackets, alone on a line. Sections
names are case insensitive.
Section names should be kept on a line of their own. Comments (see below)

are NOT allowed on lines with section names.
4.1.2 Variables and Values
In any section there are one or more variables, declared with the following
syntax:
Variable = value
