Synchronization via a cyclical pulse provided on HW port
The embedded applications time can also be configured via a telegram in order to generate an output
pulse of 512 ms duration based on the 32-bit counter in a fixed cycle.
Configuration is done via the
NAVSyncClockInterval
command. The output pulse is generated
at each counter overrun in the specified interval depending on the parameter. The specific hardware
port is set with
NAVSyncClockPort
. Using the hardware port gives the option to calculate the delay
for processing the request command and the following response time.
Examples:
NAVSyncClockInterval
Interval time
10
1,024 ms
12
4,096 ms
15
32,768 ms
Configuration of, e.g., 15 bits creates an output pulse every 32,768 ms.
The cyclical sync pulse is always triggered when the lower 15 bits of the counter are zero.
By using this sync pulse, the vehicle computer can synchronize with the clock of NAV-LOC.
NOTE
The vehicle computer is to be configured such that it responds to the rising edge of the output pulse.
