Table 56   System Maintenance: Time and Date Setting

Time Protocol

Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on 

the G-1000. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to 

check with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a 

protocol that works. The main differences between them are the format. 
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of 

seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0. 
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None. The default, enter the time manually.

network administrator if you are unsure of this information.
