Synchronizing to the GPS clock
The information from the navigation normally contains time information in ZDA format. This time information can be used by the FX80 system for clock synchronization.
Context
If GPS Time has been enabled, the FX80 software will display the time directly received from the GPS regardless of the current computer time. If this function has been enabled and no GPS time is available, the FX80 software will continue displaying the computer time.
Whenever GPS time is displayed, the phrase NMEA is displayed to the left of the date and time.
Procedure
1 Make sure that the FX80 is connected to the GPS system.
2 Select the Setup icon.
The icon is located under the Main menu.
