OPERATION
3.0 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the front and rear panel functions and operational
information for the NetClock/GTP.
3.1
FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
Refer to Figure 3-1, NetClock/GTP Front Panel, and the following paragraphs for
front panel functions.
3.1.1 Display
The front panel display provides GPS synchronized time. The display characters
are red LED digits measuring 0.8 inches high for the day of year, hours and
minutes, and 0.56 inches for the seconds. The display area features a red filter
with an anti-glare surface for optimum viewing.
Day of the year value is displayed in the three left-hand digits. The day values
range from 001 to 366 for leap years. Leading zeroes are not suppressed.
The time display can be configured for 12 or 24 hour format, Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) or local time with or without Daylight Saving Time
corrections. The command
FPF
configures the front panel display format
options. Refer to Section 4,
Software Commands
, for a complete description of
this command.
In addition to providing time, the display communicates when an adjust oscillator
alarm is activated by displaying all 8’s every three seconds. This alarm warns
that the GPS disciplined TCXO time base requires an adjustment to ensure
proper operation. The adjustment compensates for crystal aging and centers the
TCXO within its control range. Typically, this adjustment is not necessary until
after many years of operation. Refer to Section 5,
Service Information
, for the
TCXO adjustment procedure.
3.1.2
GPS Lock Lamp
This bi-color LED indicates the receiver lock status to GPS. At power on this
lamp is red. The lamp turns green after the receiver has tracked and qualified at
least one satellite for one minute.
