| Further Information | The module provides differential timing mode for highly accurate local timing and built-in security for highest robustness against malicious attacks. The variety of inputs/outputs makes this combined GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo & Beidou) the first choice for a broad range of applications, including time and frequency Synchronisation tasks and the measurement of asynchronous time events.
The frequency locking of the master oscillator to the GNSS system enables the GNM system to generate fixed and optionally programmable standard frequencies with high accuracy and stability. Various oscillator options allow the cost efficient implementation of different requirements concerning the accuracy of the outputs. The pulse generator of the GNM multi band receiver generates pulses per second and per minute. As an option four programmable outputs are available. The pulses are Synchronised to UTC-second. Up to four serial interfaces are available for sending timestrings. These ASCII-telegrams include information regarding time, date and status of the GNM-receiver. The module provides two inputs for measurement of asynchronous time events. These capture events can be read via a serial interface. The parameter setting of the module is done by a monitor software. |
