SyncServer S6x0 CLI Command Set
F9 - Time on Request
The F9 command is used to record the time the SyncServer S6x0 receives a
request from the user. The general behavior is covered in
. This function is
configurable through the command line interface only. It is not configurable from the
keypad.
Enter the command
F9<CR>
to prepare the SyncServer S6x0 for the user's request.
At the desired moment, send the request to the SyncServer S6x0 by entering an
upper case "T". The SyncServer S6x0 saves the current time-of-day, accurate to
within 1 microsecond, to a buffer, and then outputs it to the command line interface.
The SyncServer S6x0 continues to provide the time-of-day each time it receives a
"T" until
F9
is cancelled. To cancel
F9
, enter
ctrl-C
on your keyboard. The
command line disregards all input other than
SHIFT-T
and
ctrl-C
(hex 03).
The time-of-day output is only available on the network or serial port used to give
the
F9
command.
The default string returned with
SHIFT-T
is entered (assuming time on request is
enabled) is as follows:
<SOH>DDD:HH:MM:SS.mmmQ<CR><LF>
where:
<SOH>=ASCII Start-of-Heading character
<CR>=ASCII Carriage Return character
<LF>=ASCII Line Feed character
YYYY=Year
DDD=day-of-year.
