Available time codes

The time code generator of the module GPS164xHS is able to generate the time-
codes shown below. The modulated codes (IRIG B122/B123, AFNOR, IEEE1344)
are available via the BNC-connector, the unmodulated codes (IRIG B002/B003 and
IEEE1344) via a DSUB connector in the front panel. The unmodulated codes are
available as a transistor output with internal pull up (470

Ω to +5V), with TTL-level

into 50

Ω and with RS422 level.

B002:

100pps, DC Level Shift pulse width coded, no carrier
BCD time of year

B122:

100pps, amplitude modulated sine wave signal, 1 kHz carrier frequency
BCD time of year

B003:

100pps,DC Level Shift pulse width coded, no carrier
BCD time of year, SBS time of day

B123:

100pps, amplitude modulated sine wave signal, 1 kHz carrier frequency
BCD time of year, SBS time of day

AFNOR:

100pps, amplitude modulated sine wave signal, 1 kHz carrier frequency
BCD time of year, complete date, SBS time of day
output level adapted

IEEE1344:

Code according to IEEE1344-1995
100pps, AM-Sine wave signal, 1kHz carrier frequency,
BCD-time of year, SBS time of day
IEEE1344 extensions for:
date, timezone, daylight-saving and leap second
in control functions ( CF ) segment.

Code generation

In the default mode of operation the IRIG/AFNOR ti mecode outputs are disabled

until the GPS-receiver has been synchronized after power-up. The generation of the
IRIG-code only starts after synchronization therefore.

If the code must be available immediately after power-up, the software GPS-

MON32 can be used to enable the time code output without synchronization of the
GPS-receiver by setting the enable flag 'pulses' to 'always'. In this mode of operation
the IRIG-code is not locked to UTC-second until synchronization.
