enable DISABLE DISC-on-OFF RESET
This menu is used to control the synchronized generator and to indicate a LOSS or NORM(al)
level of code into the Translator. Input for the Sync Gen operation comes from the code input to
the Translator. The Sync Gen function may be enabled or disabled using the appropriate switch.
Tracking continues at the rate stored when a loss of input occurs if enabled. The stored rate may
be reset, by depressing the switch below RESET.
The oscillator discipline function can be enabled or disabled. The DISC - ON - OFF switches
control the function. The SYNC GEN must be enabled for disciplining to operate in the SYNC
GEN mode. Disciplining provides an analog voltage for control of the internal oscillator. It will
not work with the external oscillator. DISC - ON - OFF also functions with 1PPS Tracking if
enabled.
The internal oscillator may be adjusted while tracking to minimize the tracking rate. See Chapter
Five.
If the oscillator is disciplined or the unit is cold, several seconds (or minutes) are required for the
oscillator to settle.
The menu displayed in Figure 3.7.3.1 shows input code to be normal, SYNC GEN to be
disabled, and disciplining to be OFF. If the proper code input level was not present, Loss would
be shown after Code.
Enabling or Disabling the SYNC-Gen mode is accomplished by pressing a switch under the
desired mode. The selected mode will appear in upper case letters.
To set Disciplining ON or OFF press the switch directly below the desired function and the
display will change the selected mode to upper case letters.
