Additional Resources
Catalogs
  • Synchronized to atomic clock in GPS satellites with ± 1µ sec accuracy
  • Software is included for operation under Windows® 2000/XP and Server 2003
  • APIs provided for custom programming
  • High stability battery backed-up oscillator & clock
  • On board LED indicates GPS lock
  • GPS information & PPS timing pulse available via DB9
  • Optional NTP software for network synchronization
  • GPS information is available internally via the PC bus & externally via the RS-232 port in the NMEA protocol
  • When synchronized, long-term accuracy is the same as GPS satellite atomic clock.
  • If the GPS signal is lost, the unit will revert to the stabilized internal oscillator and maintain typically accuracy of < 165 ms per day.
