F111 – J2 Output (Rate, PPO)
Use function F111 to configure the J2 Output to generate one of several rates or, optionally, a
Programmable Pulse Output (PPO). F111 selects from one of the following rates: 1 PPS, 10 PPS,
100 PPS, 1 kPPS, 10 kPPS, 1 MPPS, 5 MPPS, 10 MPPS, or PPO. The default factory setting is
10 MPPS.
Note: PPO is an optional feature. If purchased at the same time as the XL-GPS, it comes enabled on
the system. To purchase this option after you have purchased the XL-GPS, contact Symmetri-
com Sales. See “
H: Sales and Customer Assistance” on page 143.
For J2 specifications, see “J2 - Rate Out” on page 5 or “J2 - Optional Programmable Pulse Out (PPO)”
on page 6.
Notes on F111 PPO:
• PPO can provide a single pulse output or repetitive pulse outputs.
• PPO can start and stop the pulse at any time in the year, with a resolution of one microsecond.
• The repetition rates from PPO are based on "wildcards". See “
Repetitive PPO pulse outputs” on
page 98 regarding usage of "wildcards" to specify PPO repetition rates.
• PPO can provide the following sub-second repetition rates: 100 kPPS, 10 kPPS, 1 kPPS, 100
PPS, and 10 PPS.
• If PPO only specifies one time, it is the start time. The stop time is automatically set for one
microsecond later.
