Example:
CR LF I ^ ^YYYY^ DDD ^ HH:MM:SS ^ D+XX CR LF
or
CR LF I ^ ^YYYY^ DDD ^ HH:MM:SS ^ D-XX CR LF
Where:
CR | Carriage Return |
LF | Line Feed |
I | Time Sync Status (space, ?, *) |

^ | Space separator |
DDD | Day of Year (001-366) |

SS | Seconds (00-60) |
D | Daylight Saving Time indicator (S,I,D,O) |

The leading edge of the first character (CR
) marks the on-time point of the data stream. Time sync status character (I
) is described below:
(Space) | When SecureSync is synchronized to UTC source. |
* | When SecureSync time is set manually. |
? | When SecureSync has not achieved or has lost synchronization to UTC source. |
The time and date can be set to either local time or UTC time, depending upon the configuration of the output port.
