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.
