5.2 OSCILLATOR
ADJUSTMENT
Over time the NetClock/GTP TCXO oscillator may require an adjustment to
compensate for crystal aging. The NetClock/GTP warns when this adjustment is
needed by asserting an Adjust Oscillator Alarm. This condition causes the front
panel display to flash all 8’s every three seconds and activates the Minor Alarm
relay. An Adjust Oscillator Alarm is asserted when the frequency controlling D/A
converter approaches a control range limit. Typically, this alarm provides a two
to three month warning before a control range end is reached.
On rare occasions, an oscillator may experience a sudden shift in frequency,
causing an Adjust Oscillator and a Frequency Alarm. When this occurs, both
Major and Minor alarms are activated. The D/A is set to a control range end
unable to correct the oscillator frequency. Frequency error shall exceed 1 x 10
-7
This section describes the oscillator adjustment procedure using a frequency
counter and an RS-232 terminal. The frequency counter must have a time base
accuracy and measurement resolution of at least 1 x 10
-7
(1.0 Hz at 10 MHz).
A PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal, ProComm Plus, etc.)
can be used as an RS-232 terminal. Configure the terminal for ANSI emulation,
9600 baud and a character structure of 1 start, 8 data, 1 stop and no parity. Flow
control is not required, although XON/XOFF is supported.
5.2.1 Adjustment
Procedure
Perform the steps listed below to adjust the TCXO oscillator.
1.
If the unit is rack mounted, remove it from the rack.
2.
Disconnect the GPS antenna.
3.
Remove the top cover.
4.
Connect the terminal to the Serial Setup Interface port.
5.
Place the NetClock/GTP in Test Mode by sending the TM command as
follows:
Type:
TM ON <ent>
Response:
TIME= 19:22:03 DATE= 2001-04-08 STATUS CHANGE
ACTIVE ALARMS: MAJOR AND MINOR
IN TEST MODE
ADJUST OSCILLATOR
6.
Set the D/A to the center of it’s control range by setting the D/A to 8000 as
shown below:
Type:
DA 8000<ent>
