OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.5.1. Configuring the Generator Operating Modes
The
GEN MODE
menu item is used to select the type of information that is contained in the time and
user bits of the generator. When the 5010 is not in the Jam sync mode, the generator Time bits contain
time information entered from the front panel. When the 5010 is in the continuous Jam Sync mode, the
time bits are slaved to the reader time.
TIME DATA:
Configures the user bits for entering numeric data entered from the front panel.
TIME RDR TIME:
Transfers the reader’s time bits to the generator user bits. The U/B TRANSFER
LED will be on. Transferring reader time is useful when you want to record new
continuous time code numbers and still retain the original time code numbers for
future reference. When synchronizing audio tape machines to video recorders,
the audio tape time code may be transferred to the user bits in the new video
time code. An alternate method of enabling the Rdr time to Gen UB transfer is to
close the TIME-UB TRANSFER remote control input to ground. (See section 4.9)
TIME RDR UB:
Transfers the reader’s user bits to the generator time bits. The U/B TRANSFER
LED will be on. Transferring the reader user bits is used when reader time data
previously transferred to user bits as above, or other user bit information must be
retained when recording new code. When used in conjunction with the
continuous Jam Sync mode, both the time and user bits will be transferred to the
new tape. An alternate method of enabling the Rdr UB to Gen UB transfer is to
close the UB-UB TRANSFER remote control input to ground. (See section 4.9)
TIME DATE:
Configures the user bits for entry of date information from the front panel. The
internal time clock of the 5010 runs in UTC (Universal coordinated time) in this
mode, and an optional time zone offset from UTC can be programmed using the
Generator user bit entry procedure. (See section 4.5.6) The Generator can be
programmed to output either the UTC or Local Time using the
GEN TIME ZONE
ADJ
menu item. Each time the UTC time numbers roll through midnight, the
date in the user bits advances by 1 day. The
DATE FORMAT
menu setting
controls the format used to store the date information in the user bits.
