Product Description
Characteristics
Receiver Type | Narrowband synchronous receiver with automatic gain control, Bandwidth: approx. 40Hz |
Status Indicators | RF Signal: Indicated by LED, antenna alignment enhanced by utility program Free running: Indicated by LED and utility program without RF signal the clock runs on quartz basis with an accuracy of ±1·10-6 (after 24 hours of synchronous operation) Modulation: Indicated by LED and utility program |
Reception Monitoring | Incoming time string undergoes multiple checks
Plausibility test using two full consecutive time strings |
Pulse Outputs | Pulses per second and per minute (TTL level), pulse duration: 200 msec |
Serial Time String Output | Baudrate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud Framing: 7E2, 8N1, 8E1, 8N2 Output string: 32 ASCII characters with date, time and status information |
Statusbyte | Informations about free running mode, daylight savings time and DST pre-switch anouncement, synchronization since last reset, GMT/UTC time and validity of the hardware clock data |
