Operating and Programming Guide 5-87
59551A
This command identifies the date when the individual pulse (or first pulse of
the pulse sequence) is generated at the Programmable Pulse output.
Expanded Syntax
:PULSe:STARt:DATE <four-digit year>,<month>,<day>
Parameter
• The <four-digit year> range is 1994 to 3000.
• The <month> range is 1 to 12.
• The <day> range is 1 to 31.
Context Dependencies
If you select a date and time which occurs prior to the current time or prior to
the completion of powerup and first GPS lock, the Receiver will not successfully
find a start—and therefore will produce no pulses.
If the Receiver has been set up to use a time zone offset to produce local date
and time, the parameters provided should also be expressed as local date and
time.
