APPENDIX A
TM Option 15
Multi-Code Serial Encoder
Assembly 21030
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This assembly is used to serially encode the time value contained within the TymMachine 7000.
The time code format is determined by front panel menu selection.
This assembly generates IRIG A, IRIG B, IRIG G, NASA 36, XR3, 2137 or AN/GSQ-53 (250 Hz)
as selected by the Output Code Menu. The time encoded may come from either the generator or the
translator. Codes may be “re/generated” from the translator at multiple speeds.
1.1 INSTALLATION
This assembly may be plugged into any available option position. Remove power from the
TM7000. Plug this assembly into the PTS, being careful that components are on the top side.
Interconnect modulated output (J1) and DC Level Shift (J2) as desired. Select the desired channel
number in the range of 1 through C hex (1-12) using the ‘piano’ switches on the rear edge of this
module located between the two BNC output connectors (See switch S1 in Figure 1). Think of the
channel number as an address. For ease of operation, any number of assemblies may share a
common channel (address) number. Viewed from the rear of the chassis, the Channel Select
switches are designated 1-2-4-8 from left to right. The UP position is the ‘on’ position (binary one).
Do not use a value of zero (all switches down) nor a value that is greater than C hex (12).
1.2 OPERATION
The RE/GENERATE menu (on the SELECT GENERATOR OUTPUTS menu) is used to select the
output code for each channel regardless of whether the time source for the code is the generator or
the translator. Channels are selected using the NEXT button under the LCD menu display. Only
installed channel numbers are displayed. Multiple encoders may be assigned the same channel
number during installation, or each encoder may be assigned a different channel number. Channels
are numbered in “hex” from 1 to C. All other numbers are illegal. Set-ups are stored and
remembered through power outages.
The SPEED UP menu relates to the generator only. When sped up, most generator functions are
inhibited (including the parallel outputs, video time insertion and J6 serial code output). START,
STOP and time PRESET are preserved.
If the unit is switched to Translate while the Generator is sped up, the Generator speed is
automatically switched to 1:1 (real time). The allowable generator speed up is dependent on the
time code being generated. IRIG G will function up to a 4:1 increase, while all other codes will
work properly from 1:1 up to 32:1. The 32:1 speed is about one percent fast. The generator speed
must be manually returned to 1:1 in order for the re/generate function to work correctly. Merely
switching to the Translate mode will not assure proper regenerate operation.
