Code Out
The default output is IRIG-B-120 AM. Configuration is via the Keypad, Serial I/O, and Network port.
Five flags are encoded in the control function segment of the IRIG B code. The first flag encoded at
element P5+40ms is the LOCK indicator. It is a binary 1 when the reference source has become
unlocked. The second flag encoded at element P5+60ms is a binary 1 when the worst case time error
exceeds threshold 1 element P5+70ms is a binary 1 when the worst case time error exceeds threshold
2. Element P5+80ms encodes a binary 1 when the error exceeds threshold 3 and P5+90ms when the
error exceeds threshold 4.
The time code resets as follows:
