It would be beneficial if an additional data type were available within GEMS of a time duration (time_duration). This allows for specification of a time offset. The suggested format would be:

[-]HH:MM:SS[.fffffffff]

Existing ground equipment solutions currently have time offsets and having this support would enable smoother and more accurate support and integration with GEMS-enabled products. Existing types do not adequately support providing an offset time duration format.

During the March 23, 2022 GEMS RTF Meeting, the RTF members agreed to:
1. Add diagrams to sections 6.2.8 (Save Configuration Message), 6.2.9 (Restore Configuration Message), 6.2.11 (Asynchronous Status Message), and possibly 6.2.10 (get device definition file) for consistency with prior sections.
2. Add references from the PIM and PSM sections back to the use cases.

PingMessage and PingResponse appears in UML but not in Figure 6.1 nor text of Section 6.2.

GetConfigListMessage and GetConfigListResponse appears in UML but not in Figure 6.1 nor text of Section 6.2.

DisconnectMessage appears in UML and Figure 6.1 but not in text of Section 6.2.

MessageSequenceResponse appears in UML but not in Figure 6.1 nor Section 6.2, nor in either PSM

Update Figure 6.1 (GEMS Use Cases) to include missing messages, and update other sections and figures per above.

The ASCII PSM specifies that the "Message Length" field in the Standard Header is a fixed length of 10 characters, but all Example GEMS-ASCII Message Lengths are only 6 characters. So correct the Message Length of all Example GEMS-ASCII Messages in:
