RITS
Rapid Intelligent Timing System
The test set Intelligent Timing System is a unique test system that eliminates and com-
bines three systems into one. It is an Oscilloscope, a T1 Test set and a Switch Box all
in one. Cut-over, installation and verification of Timing Signal Generator (TSG) sys-
tems
such as the Symmetricom 5500 Timehub with thousands (1000’s) of ports per
system typically consume 1-2 days each.
The Timing system quickly analyzes and accurately tests T1 and CC (Composite clock)
timing sources and TSG’s (Timing Signal Generators). When analyzing composite
clock signals it is impossible without sophisticated (and expensive) digital storage oscil-
loscopes to synchronize on the incoming signal with BPV’s since the 64kHz pulse train
with BPV’s at 8kHz will trigger continual re-syncing of the oscilloscope trigger-sweep
circuitry making precise measurements and assessments of phase extremely difficult
and highly subjective.
This is completely eliminated with the high-speed processing of the test set RITS sys-
tem as the test processor has been trained to synchronize on these mixed signal inputs
resulting in accurate and precise measurements.
These measurements and results are then presented to the User-Operator in a clear
format - leaving little room for error and eliminating subjective best-guess assessments
Test Interface
The Timing test interface is shown below. The T1 and CC reference inputs are ac-
cessed via standard bantam jacks. The reference jacks are where you will connect
your T1 or CC reference clock to compare its phase and frequency to a single or multi-
ple circuit-under-
test. Use the Single bantam jack to compare this one “single” circuit
to the reference clock.
The Multi-Channel connector must use the Greenlee Communications supplied adapt-
er-cable that connects to a TSG system for bulk access and testing of 10 T1 or CC
circuits at a time, enabling TSG circuits to be accessed and tested in seconds - not
minutes. The GND lug is a banana connector and is used to connect the test set
ground to the circuit under test as some circuits are referenced to ground.
