Explanation of <CR> and <LF> is the same as in the previous table.
The bytes in the time string must transmit continuously for the time
synchronization signals to be received correctly. When using a GPS receiver for
time synchronization, it is best to use it at 9600 baud rather than a higher baud rate.
This reduces the chance of bytes being interrupted and provides the best accuracy,
since the accuracy of the OTM depends on the baud rate.
