- The BS11 is a beacon continuously broadcasting time and code number
- Computer in SIAC records all beacon pulse times and strength
- The SIAC determines which pulse is strongest, saves that time
- SIAC will beep and flash once final punch time is saved to memory
Importantly, this beep and flash will be *well after* passing the gate - The SIAC alone knows the one punch time, the BS11 does not
- Multiple passes through a BS11 hotzone will get multiple stamps
- SIAC needs Finish/Off to turn off, otherwise 20 hours after last control
- Keep BS11s in 'Timing Mode' for SIAC to record strongest signal
