4.7.1 TIMEPULSE
ANTARIS
®
4
GPS
receivers
provide
a
hardware-synchronized
TIMEPULSE
(Pin
29)
with
a
Time
Pulse Period
of
1
ms
to
60
s.
The
polarity
(rising
or
falling
edge)
and
the
pulse
duration
can
be
configured.
Use
the
UBX
proprietary
message
UBX
-
CFG
(Config)
-
TP
(Time
Pulse)
to
change
the
TIMEPULSE
settings.
The
UBX
-
TIM
(Time)
-
TP
(Timepulse)
message
provides
the
time
information
for
the
next
TIMEPULSE,
time
source
and
a
quantization
error.

can
be
selected.
This
makes
a
difference
if
the
Pulse
Period
exceeds
1s.
As
the
TIMEPULSE
is
synchronized
with
GPS-

UTC-time
the
Pulse

must
fulfill
the
following
condition:
n must be an integer value!
Note
The

can’t
exceed
the
