Why is my data not decoded even though it comes in on the port?

There is a UTC Time Status field defined in the format.

If this is set to "E", Qinsy will not decode the string.

Make sure your system receives a pulse & timetag.

Output system related questions

Subject	Question	Answer
TSS1 format	Is it possible to output a TSS1 data-string from Qinsy?	Yes this is possible via the generic output drivers: Generic Output (User-defined ASCII) Network - Generic - Output (User-defined ASCII) (TCP) Network - Generic - Output (User-defined ASCII) (UDP) There is however a reason why there was no output system created for this in Qinsy. This is because there will most likely be timing issues, since the TSS message does not contain a timestamp in the data-string. In case you would still like to output it, you can use the following XML: TSS1 NOT TESTED.xml Place it in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\QPS\QINSy\Drivers\Definitions\Output
