The reference between the time stamp in the telegram, which refers to the position in relation to the
cyclical output is illustrated in the following diagram.
8.2
Setting of the hardware outputs
NOTE
This chapter is only for usage of option 1 (chapter 8.1.2) or 2 (chapter 8.1.3) for synchronization.
The connector X3 of the SIM is used for outputting the sync pulses. Four outputs, X3-1 … X3-4, are
available. One of these outputs of X3 can be selected with the commands
NAVSyncGet-
TimestampPort
17
or
NAVSyncClockPort
. The command
NAVSyncGetTimestampPort
is
used to set the output port for the pulse when receiving the time stamp request (
NAVGetTimestamp
)
and
NAVSyncClockPort
is used for the selection for the output of the cyclical pulse.
Once the setting for the port is done, the output is triggered in each state of the system (IDLE, READY,
LOCALIZE) and if saved after re-boot.
NOTE
The output pulses of both hardware synchronization variants are available at the same time and also
on the same port. However, it is highly recommended to assign them to separate outputs of X3.
