Model 5010 Time Code Master Manual
OVERVIEW
Revision 3.1.1
Page 1-3
The 5010 has two general purpose outputs that can be set to activate at a specific time code value of
the generator or reader, to output a one pulse per second pulse or act as a warning tally when the unit
loses its GPS reference. The duration of the output is user programmable.
Remote control of the commonly used functions may be accomplished using the parallel remote
control interface. Full computer control, including alpha-numeric user bit entry and reading is possible
using the RS-232/RS-422 serial port. Two general purpose TTL outputs can be programmed for a
variety of functions such as reader or generator triggered time events, and a loss of genlock alarm.
