Product Description

The frequency locking of the master oscillator to the GPS-system enables the module GPS/SV to generate fixed and optionally programmable standard frequencies with high accuracy and stability. Various oscillator options allow the cost efficient implementation of different requirements concerning the accurracy of the outputs.

The pulse generator of GPS/SV generates pulses per second and per minute. As an option four programmable outputs are available. The pulses are synchronised to UTC-second.

Up to four serial interfaces are available for sending timestrings. These ASCII-telegrams include information regarding time, date and status of the GPS-receiver.

The module provides two inputs for measurement of asynchronous time events. These capture events can be read via a serial interface.

The parameter setting of the module is done by a monitor software.
