SYNC & VERIFY OPERATION
See SYNC Select Menu, 3.7.1.2.
This selection initiates a synchronizing sequence. The TM7000 can synchronize to IRIG A, IRIG
B, or any 1KHz carrier, one frame per second code which the unit translates. The code is
applied to the Translator Code Input (J8) and must be selected on the Translator Code Select
Menu.
*** CAUTION ***
Attempting to Sync and Verify to a code not selected (i.e. the input to the Translator is
different than that selected) can cause the Generator to lock-up. If this happens perform a
Manual System Reset, See Chapter Five, Section 5.3.5.
A message showing “synchronizing” will be displayed on the LCD Display while the unit is
synchronizing to the input code and “synchronized” will appear momentarily when
synchronization is complete. The LCD Display will then return to the SYNC Select Menu,
Figure 3.7.1.2.
If the input is bad or has not been properly selected a fault message will appear.
Pressing the NEXT or PREV switch changes the LCD Display to the Generator Operate Menu,
Figure 3.7.1.1.
3.7.5
1PPS TRACKING OPERATION
See SYNC Select Menu, Figure 3.7.1.2.
The selection of the Tracking Edge is under menu control and Prop Delay may be used to offset
the Generator. Tracking is enabled or disabled by use of the appropriate switch.
1PPS Tracking requires that a 1PPS, TTL level, signal be connected to rear panel BNC
connector J6.
Selection of 1PS-Tracking from the SYNC Select Menu, Figure 3.7.1.2, will cause the LCD
Display menu to be as shown in Figure 3.7.5.1.
