The Model 6115G-3R is a GPS synchronized IRIG B time code generator designed to provide a precise IRIG B serial time code, both modulated and demodulated, output as well as a 1PPS time pulse.  The unit automatically acquires all in-view satellites upon power up and locks an internal IRIG B time code generator to the GPS time reference.  If the GPS lock is lost, the 6115G-3R will automatically switch to an internal clock and continue generating the output IRIG B signal.  No discernible change in the IRIG B output will occur due to this transition.

 In the event that a GPS signal is not available the 6115G-3R can be locked to an external IRIG B serial time code signal.  The selection of GPS or IRIG as the synchronization source is via a front panel switch or it may be done remotely via a TTL signal or contact closure.  

The 6115G-3R may also be synchronized to an external 1 PPS such as a time mark signal from another timing device.  When applied, the 6115G-3R internal clock will be reset to the closest second.  It is therefore necessary to have previously set the clock recently enough to be certain that the error would be less than one half second.   

The 6115G-3R may also be used as a stand-alone unit to generate an IRIG B signal.  The time-of-year may be set by the user via front panel switches.  A backlit LCD readout displays the days, hours, minutes and seconds as well as status.  In the event of a power failure the 6115G-3R will no longer output a serial time code however the time will continue to advance by automatically switching to a battery backed-up internal clock.  The IRIG output will resume, without resetting, upon reapplication of power.

The unit has five buffered IRIG B outputs and one demodulated IRIG B output as well as status and synchronized clock signal outputs. Included is a serial RS-232 port that provides for remote user programming and also provides time and position output.  It is powered by 100 to 240 VAC 50/60 Hz.

Also available is the model 6115G-3RN which is identical to the 6115G-3R except it outputs NMEA 0183  GGA and ZDA serial messages.

 The Model 6115SC is a Time Code Generator/Translator that converts an applied time code to one serial time code and five slow codes.  The unit operates on any of four IRIG time codes, A, B, E and  G.  The applied code is then translated into IRIG B and five Slow Codes, 1 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec and 60 sec.  Any of the 5 slow codes is output via a power amplifier as selected by a front panel switch. A selectable IRIG time code output A, B, E or G is provided regardless of the input IRIG format.  Therefore if set to IRIG B,  this signal may be used to drive an external IRIG B display.  If the applied time code signal is lost the 6115SC will automatically switch to an internal clock and continue generating the output IRIG signals.  No discernible change in the IRIG or Slow Code outputs will occur when the input time code signal is removed after synchronization.  
 
The 6115SC internal clock is automatically synchronized to the selected IRIG serial time code upon application of that time code signal to the IRIG input port.  Once synchronized the IRIG signal can be removed and the unit will continue to operate on the internal clock, which also generates all serial IRIG signals and Slow Codes.  The outputs are always synchronized with the time code generator and phase locked to the input signal when present.

The 6115SC may also used as a stand-alone unit to generate IRIG time codes.  The time-of-year may be set by the user via front panel switches.  An LCD readout displays the days, hours, minutes and seconds as well as unit status.

The unit is housed in a 1.75 inch high (1U), 19 inch wide rack mountable aluminum enclosure, 9 inches deep and is powered by 100 to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz.

The Model 6115G-TSM is a GPS synchronized IRIG B time code generator designed to provide a precise IRIG B serial time code output, selectable synchronized clock outputs and provide the facility of time tagging events.  The unit automatically acquires all in-view satellites upon power up and locks an internal IRIG B time code generator to the GPS time reference.  If the GPS lock is lost the 6115G-TSM will automatically switch to an internal clock and continue generating the output IRIG B signal.  No discernible change in the IRIG B output will occur due to this transition.

The 6115G-TSM has six event inputs, each operating independently. Upon receipt of an event trigger, the time is read and placed in a buffer for retrieval via an included Ethernet port. The unit will record events at a burst rate of up to 1MHz

The 6115G-TSM may also be used as a stand-alone unit to generate an IRIG B signal.  The date and time may be set by the user via front panel switches.  A backlit LCD readout displays the month, day, year, hours, minutes and seconds as well as unit status.  In the event of a power failure the 6115G-TSM will no longer output a serial time code however the time will continue to advance by automatically switching to a battery backed-up internal clock. The IRIG output will resume, without resetting, upon reapplication of power.

Besides the retrieval of the event timestamps, the Ethernet port is used to provide remote control and programming of the 6115G-TSM.  Included is a Windows 9x, 2000, ME, XP, NT compatible Remote Control Utility    

The Model 400-D is a GPS synchronized IRIG B time code generator designed to provide a precise IRIG B002 (demodulated) serial time code output as well as a 1PPS time pulse.  The unit automatically acquires all in-view satellites upon power up and locks an internal IRIG B time code generator to the GPS time reference.  If the GPS lock is lost the 400-D will automatically switch to an internal clock and continue generating the output IRIG B signal.  No discernible change in the IRIG B output will occur due to this transition.  

In the event that a GPS signal is not available the 400-D can be locked to an external IRIG B serial time code signal.  The selection of GPS or IRIG as the synchronization source is via a front panel switch or it may be done remotely via a TTL signal or contact closure.

AIRBORNE, MOBILE, PORTABLE TIME CODE GENERATORS

GPS Synchronized Miniature Time Code Generator, Model 6115G-8 provides an IRIG B time code output derived from GPS.  The time code output is synchronized with UTC time unless a time offset has been programmed.  A twelve channel GPS receiver automatically acquires all in-view satellites upon power up and locks an internal IRIG B time code generator to the GPS time reference.  If the GPS lock is lost the 6115G-8 will automatically switch to an internal clock and continue generating the output IRIG B signal.  No discernible change in the IRIG B output will occur due to this transition.  Additionally a battery backed up internal clock maintains time during power loss.  An external event may be time tagged by applying an Event Trigger to the Trigger Input.  The time of the event will be captured and stored until output via the serial port. The maximum event burst rate is 100KHz and the event buffer can store up to 127 events.

The 6115G-8 features a programmable time offset to convert the time from the GPS  receiver from UTC time to local time.  

The 6115G-8 has an asynchronous RS-232C port, which provides a means of configuring the unit, as well as reading the time, event, and location information.  The output messages for time/location and events are individually controlled.  The Time/Location message may be set to OFF or AUTO.  When set to AUTO, messages are sent at one second intervals.  The Event message may also be turned off, or may be set to respond only to a Query or set to send automatically until the event buffer is empty.

Included with the 6115G-8 is a CDROM containing a self-installing utility program for setting up the unit via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) from a Windows™ based computer via the COM port. The program will run on Windows 9x, 2000, NT, ME and XP operating systems

The 6115G-8 is housed in an aluminum enclosure, 7.5 inches long (including mounting flanges), 4.25 inches wide and 1.45 inches high.  All controls, connectors and indicators are on the front panel.
