Figure 15 – GPS Setup Page, showing trails and minimum elevations turned on

To ensure reliable performance, when operating TCG 01 in extreme southern (or
northern) latitudes, ensure the antenna is positioned with a clear view of the
northern (or southern) sky

8.8.1 Setting Position and Time

Time and position may be pre-set using the set time and set location buttons only if TCG
01 has no satellite tracking history. To clear tracking history remove the antenna and
cycle power or use the “Reset GPS” button, although be prepared to wait! It may take
half an hour for the GPS, with a good antenna connected, to fully recover from a reset.

The ability to force any time and date into the instrument means that TCG 01 can be
used as a convenient signal source for testing the ability of externally attached
equipment to correctly process received time codes through unusual time transitions
such as the 28/29 Feb rollover during leap years, or daylight savings transitions.
