Product Description

The module GPS162 generates GPS disciplined standard frequencies and pulses per second and is the ideal solution for synchronization tasks therefore. To realize various requirements concerning the accurracy of the frequency outputs, the module GPS162 may be equipped with different master oscillators (see table oscillator list, except Rubidium).
The board provides two RS232 interfaces and status outputs. The compact size of the board GPS162 allows easy integration into the user's application.
