Values:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Diagnotic tools are set of specialized features and tools that allow you to monitor clock’s functions.

You can choose from values:

1* (default value)

display test

2*

display of active alarms

3*

display of internal temperature

4*

display of test results

5*

display of calibration deviation

6*

passive DCF diagnostic menu

7*

display of line quality diagnostics

8*

GPS diagnostic menu

All values have accessible submenu.

Display test submenu#

After entering this item, all segments of the display will light up.

Active alarms submenu#

See the table below:

AL:--

if any alarm is not active

AL:xx

xx represents active alarm bit
(to browse between active bits, use >> or PB2)

Internal temperature submenu#

dd°C

dd represents internal temperature in °C
example: 25 °C

Test results submenu#

PASS

tested in production with pass result

FAIL

tested in production with failed result

Not

not tested in production

Calibration deviation submenu#

-- --

calibration deviation greater than 1000 ppm

0xxx

calibration deviation greater than 100 ppm

xx.xx

calibration deviation less than 100 ppm

Negative deviation is indicated by a lit dot at the first digit.

Currently running calibration is indicated by a flashing decimal point.

Passive DCF diagnostic menu#

xx:yz – display during the minute, i.e. when receiving bits

xx

number of bits received in the current minute,
ideally the counter corresponds to the current seconds value (range 0-58)

y

value of the last received bit (value 0 or 1)

z

the number of consecutive telegrams received with time that were decoded without error,
range 0-9, value greater than 9 is then displayed with a decimal point, i.e. 9.

At one full minute (or if there is a pause between incoming bits of approx. 2 seconds), i.e. it is assumed that the whole telegram is received, a screen is displayed which shows the result of the telegram processing:

--:-z

indicates successful processing of the DCF telegram, when z indicates the current value of the counter of consecutive received telegrams

Er:dd

value dd corresponds to the possible states listed bellow

States

0x01

incorrect number of received bits

0x02

missing start bit for the beginning of the telegram

0x04

missing start bit for time reception

0x08

parity error when decoding the minutes value

0x10

parity error when decoding the hours value

0x20

parity error in date decoding

0x40

invalid decoded time range

0x80

invalid decoded date range

Line quality diagnostics submenu#

The individual parameters are displayed as submenu items. You can browse between individual parameters by pressing the >> or PB2.

Sc

detected synchronization signal source type submenu

u

detected synchronization signal quality submenu

Er

number of synchronization signal processing errors submenu

t

countdown of the time limit in seconds for restarting the synchronization signal detection process submenu

St

synchronization signal processing status submenu

Detected synchronization signal source type#

Sc:--

the synchronization source is not yet identified when auto is selected

Sc:xx

value xx indicates the type of the identified link, the displayed value corresponds to the description of the SYNC menu item o2 (Type of synchronization)

Detected synchronization signal quality#

u---

the synchronisation signal is not yet correctly detected

uxxx

value xxx corresponds to the percentage of the synchronization signal processing quality

Number of synchronization signal processing errors#

Er:xx

value xx in range 0–99

Er:99.

counter value is greater than 99

Countdown of the time limit in seconds for restarting the synchronization signal detection process#

With successful signal processing, the countdown never reaches zero.

txxx

value xxx in range 0–999

t999.

counter value is greater than 999

Synchronization signal processing status#

St:xx

value xx corresponds to the possible states

States

0

unknown

1

line detected

2

line frame detected

3

line frame checked

4

line time detected

5

time zone detected
