TimestampTrigger: The TimestampTrigger setup file line specifies a decimal
ASCII character that “arms” the time stamping function. Once the trigger
character is received, the recorder will insert a time stamp when the next
byte of data is received. For example, a trigger value of 10 will configure the
SDR2-USB to insert a time stamp after a line feed is received.
TimestampTrigger=gap: Specifying a trigger value of “gap” enables a special
time stamping mode where the SDR2-USB will detect time gaps in the
stream of incoming serial characters and insert a time stamp after the gap.
This is useful for data sources such as GPS receivers that output “bursts” of
data periodically.
TimestampFormat (default=MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss\20): Use the
TimestampFormat command to provide a template for the timestamps as
they are inserted into the file. Timestamp field format values are case-
sensitive— month, day, and year fields must be specified in capital letters,
while hour, minute, second, and millisecond fields must be provided in
lower-case letters. Escape codes are used to insert characters such as spaces,
line feeds, carriage returns, and tabs. To include an escape sequence, use a
backslash followed by the two-digit hexadecimal ASCII code for the
character to use (e.g. \0A for a line feed or \20 for a space).
// enabled time stamping
Timestamp=1
// trigger on a line feed
TimestampTrigger=10
// include milliseconds and 2-digit year in time/date stamp
TimestampFormat=MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss.ddd\20
4.1.6 Other Commands
DisableIndicators (default=0): Use a setup file line with
DisableIndicators=1 to turn front-panel LED indicators off. When
enabled, the indicators will flash occasionally in a “heartbeat” pattern. Use
this setting to save small amount of power and/or avoid user confusion.
