5.3 DCF77 / PZF Receiver
If both the antenna and the power supply have been connected the system is ready to operate. After power up
it takes up to three minutes for the receiver to synchronize, if reception is good enough. A high "Correlation &
Field" is an indicator for a good signal quality.
To check the field strength and the signal correlation value, select in the Front Panel "Reference Time
→
Info PZF
→
Correlation & Field".
The correlation "State" starts in a "raw" mode, when the receiver tries to find the initial correlation. When
good correlation has been found the receiver checks it 20 times: this state is labeled "check" and the correlation
value is increased from 1 to 20. If the correlation quality stays good the state changes to the "fine" mode. The
signal strength should be 100 or higher.
If no correlation with the incoming signal is possible then the clock changes automatically to DCF77 AM
reception mode and tries to decode the second marks.
