quire the information contained in the binary message payload, such as meteorolo-
gical or hydrological records. To create scheduled binary messages, enter “5” in the

select one. Press “I” to increase the preparation time by 5 seconds each time the

hit. Press “G” to toggle the GPS antenna on or off.
When the changes are complete, press “Enter,” and the “AtoN Transmit Schedule”
appears. Press “Esc,” and the “Binary Msg Prep Time Setup” reappears. Press “Esc”
again to return to the “System Configuration Menu.”
