Technical information

Menu: Synthesizer Frequency Output (Option)
The Frequency Synthesizer is an optional output.
This setup menu lets the user edit the frequency and phase to be generated by the
on-board synthesizer. Frequencies from 1/8 Hz up to 10 MHz can be entered using
four digits and a range. The range can be selected if the „UP“ or „DOWN“ key is
pressed while the cursor is positioned on the frequency´s units string. If the least
significant range has been selected valid fractions of the frequency are .0, .1
(displayed as 1/8), .3 (displayed as 1/3), .5 and .6 (displayed as 2/3). Selection of 1/3
or 2/3 means real 1/3 or 2/3 Hz, not 0.33 or 0.66. If frequency is set to 0 the
synthesizer is disabled.
The last line of the display lets the user enter the phase of the generated frequency
from -360° to +360° with a resolution of 0.1°. Increasing the phase lets the signal
come out later. Phase affects frequencies less than 10.00 kHz only, if a higher
frequency is selected a message "(phase ignored)" informs the user that the phase
value is ignored.
Menu: TIME CODE IRIG (Option)
The Time Code IRIG is an optional output.
This menu lets the user select the Timecodes to be generated by GPS-TC. Most
IRIG-Codes do not carry any time zone information, hence UTC is selected for output
by default. If desired, the clocks local time can be output by selecting "TIME:
LOCAL".
Refer to chapter Timecode for details.
