3.7.3 PPS signal
A 1 pulse-per-second (1PPS) signal synchronised with GPS time is available from the BNC
plug at the rear of the DPS 132 unit. This PPS signal originates from the GPS receiver within
the unit. This PPS signal is buffered and fed to the BNC plug at 50 Ohm impedance. The high
level is at +5V and the low level is at 0V. The PPS signal is active high and has a nominal
pulse width at 9 ms. The 1 PPS is generated exactly once every second with its rising edge
synchronised to GPS time.
At the front of the DPS 132 unit there are four LED indicators. The indicator to the left
appears green when the system is turned ON. The indicator to the right is turned on and
appears green every time a PPS pulse is generated from the GPS receiver.
