Setting TGV510 into operation
Please pay attention to the following points, to ensure a correct operation of the TGV510
Supply Voltage
The board needs a single power supply of +5V/@ 170mA only. If the time code
generator is synchronized by the correlation receiver PZF509 this voltage should be
sourced by a linear regulated power supply, because harmonics of a switched mode
power supply could make the reception of the DCF-signal worse.
Required inputs
The following signals, provided by GPS16x or PZF509, are needed for operation of
TGV510
a) 10 MHz Clock Signal, TTL-Level, VG-Connector Pin 12
( if TGV510 is not equipped with an internal oscillator )
b) positive pulse per second, TTL-Level, VG-Connector Pin 6c
c) serial time telegram, once per seconde, VG-Connector Pin 24c
Configuration of the Board
All settings can be made using the on-board DIL-Switch. The manual DIL-Switch
configuration for the generated code can be disabled, if TGV510 is connected to a radio
clock supporting the serial configuarion feature of TGV510. In this case the non-volatile
EEPROM settings are used. Please make sure that baud rate and framing of serial port
COM0 correspond to the settings of the synchronizing radioclock. Timecode is only
output if the pulse per second signal is available.
