RPV311 to identify the UTC time using information from the signal or from the
manual configuration of the user:
When Auto (IRIGB with extensions) is selected the RPV311 shall use the

information of time zone sent within the IRIGB signal to recover the UTC
time.
 When Manual is selected the RPV will not consider eventual time zones
within the IRIGB signal, and rather it will use the UTC time zone configured in
the Manual parameter to retrieve the UTC time. This option is used specially
when the IRIGB does not inform the time zone, so the RPV311 cannot
retrieve the UTC time unless we inform the time zone manually.
The time setting that the RPV will use for time stamping is configured on the screen
Internal Clock.
It is possible to configure 30 min time zones.
B The NTP F

to provide time synchronism when the IRIG-B is not connected.
On the screen the internal clock for time stamping the registers and logs is
configured, as well as day light saving configurations.The configurable settings are:
A The T defines if time zone information is supplied by the IEEE1344
IMEZONE
extensions of the IRIG-B signal, or if it is manually set.
 When Auto is selected the RPV311 will use the same local time sent within
the IRIGB signal.
 When Manual is selected the RPV311 will use the UTC time (retrieved using
information from the Time Source screen) and calculate the local time using
the UTC time zone configured on the Internal Clock screen.
B The D
AYLIGHT SAVING TIME
extensions of the IRIG-B signal, or if it is either manually set or disabled. If it is
manually set, it is possible to choose the date and time of the start and the end of the
DST period.
It is possible to configure 30 min time zones.
The RPV311 communication may be via Ethernet and serial ports. The equipment
may also operate as a gateway over a local subnet.
Optionally the user can choose between two types of Ethernet, optical and electrical.
Gateway setup will enable the RPV311 to communicate with other equipment
connected over a local subnetwork. The Gateway can be configured by accessing the
equipment gateway configuration section, shown in
