F11 – Time Output Format
Use function F11 to review or change the format of the time output string used in F8 and F9. The as-
shipped factory setting for F11 format is null, which enables F8’s and F9’s default time output formats.
The default format for F8 – Continuous Time Once-per-Second
is:
<SOH>DDD:HH:MM:SSQ<CR><LF>
Note: F8 does not display milliseconds, regardless of the format defined in F11.
The default format for F9 – Time On Request
is:
<SOH>DDD:HH:MM:SS.mmmQ<CR><LF>
where:
The time quality character, “Q”, is one of the following characters:
See
F5 – Time-Quality Setup” on page 39 and F13 – Time Error” on page 48 for more information.

the first character after the “F11” is a blank separator; it is not part of the format string.
<SOH> = ASCII Start-of-Heading character.
<CR> = ASCII Carriage Return character.
<LF> = ASCII Line Feed character.
DDD = Day-of-year.
HH = Hours.
MM = Minutes.
SS = Seconds.
. = ASCII decimal point.
mmm = Milliseconds.
: = Colon separator.

. = Time error has exceeded time quality flag 1’s threshold
* = Time error has exceeded time quality flag 2’s threshold
# = Time error has exceeded time quality flag 3’s threshold
? = Time error has exceeded time quality flag 4’s threshold
