1.2 Nomenclature
The earliest models of these transmitters were referred to as Tier I Missile Test Transmitters (TIMTER™) because
they were intended for missiles and offered only ARTM Tier I (SOQPSK) modulation. Although the model line now
includes much more than ARTM Tier I, and they are in widespread use on many platforms besides missiles, the
“TIMTER” name remains. Now in its third generation and commonly referred to as TIMTER™ 3, the transmitter is
available in a number of variations, depending on the options specified at the time of order. The type of features and
modes installed in each unit are identified in the model number, as depicted in Figure 1. Package field codes are
listed in Table 10. For questions about specific packages, please contact Quasonix.

In this manual, the words Terminal Control and Serial Control have the same meaning and are used synonymously
throughout this manual. Serial control originates from configuring the transmitter from a computer’s legacy RS-
232/422 serial communications (COM) port. Terminal Control reflects the more generic case where the transmitter
could be controlled by other standard computer interfaces such as Ethernet.
