Available time codes

The timecode generator of the module GPS163TDHS 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 (1 k

to +5V), with TTL-level

into 50

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.
also see table ‘Assignment of CF segment in IEEE1344 mode’

Code generation

The IRIG-code is available after the code-generation-unit of GPS163 has been

synchronized by a pulse per second and a serial time telegram. In the default mode of
operation the pulse outputs and the serial ports 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 pulse outputs and the serial ports without synchro-
nization of the GPS-receiver. In this mode of operation the IRIG-code is not locked to
UTC-second until synchronization.
