Operator's guide

Sets the system's real time clock. This time will be used from power-

up until it is corrected by an attached GPS. If you are not using GPS
but are synchronizing from some other time source, you will need to

re-issue this command regularly to ensure the CD24E1 does not drift.

You will need to RE-BOOT after issuing this command for it to take
effect.

TIME?

Syntax: TIME?

Displays the current time as held in the system's real time clock. If a
GPS is attached, this will be synchronized to it. The output is given in

the form

year month day hour minute second centisecond ok

5.3.5

.FIX

Syntax: .FIX

Displays the current GPS timing fix. The GPS must be attached and
powered up
for this command to be valid; if it is not, you will see an

error message. You can power up the GPS manually with the
command XGPS.

The CD24E1 will reply in the form

.fix year month day hour:minute:second =>> Auto fix-mode SV#'s

satellites ( number-of-satellites ) ok

where fix-mode is the fix type (either 2-D or 3-D) and satellites
is a list of the satellites currently visible. The CD24E1 will carry out

clock trimming only if a 3-D fix is available, which requires at least 3
satellites to be visible.

5.3.6

.POSITION

Syntax: .POSITION

Displays the current reported GPS position, in the form

.position Lat latitude Long longitude ok

where latitude and longitude are displayed in degrees, minutes

and seconds.
