For example, to display the current distribution cable delay, enter:

XLi responds:

F52 +000000ns<CR><LF>

To set the distribution cable delay to 60 ns, enter:

XLi responds:

OK<CR><LF>

The 

 has two modes:

•

Select “Dynamic Mode” if the position of the receiver is subject to frequent change, or if it is in 

continuous motion. For example, use Dynamic Mode when the XLi is used in mobile vehicles 
such as ships, land vehicles, or aircraft. With Dynamic Mode selected, the receiver updates the 
position information repeatedly to arrive at the best time calculations for a mobile environment.

•

Select “Time Mode” if the receiver used in a static environment such as a server room. With Time 

Mode, the receiver averages the position data over time to determine the antenna position and 
calculate the time precisely and accurately.
