Time synchronization has a major impact on the quality of images received by satellites in the polar orbiting meteorological satellite data acquisition system. Therefore， TimeServer is needed to provide criterion time for the system to ensure complete reception on schedule. The GPS clock is used as the reference source of TimeServer for its stabilization and accuracy. In order to ensure that the GPSTimeServer works normally， it is necessary to monitor its status. The monitoring and management functions through the serial communication on the TimeServer is based on the Visual Basic 6.0. The monitoring function provides an important basis for fault finding， troubleshooting， and recording. The management functions include inquiry and subfunction setting， which is convenient for users to operate.
