- Provides a 1 PPS (Pulse Per Second) output synchronized to the input ti e source (-
GPS, -IRIG versions only).
- Provides a 1, 5, or 10 MHz TTL output synchronized to the input ti e source (-GPS,
-IRIG versions only).
- Flywheels through loss of the ti ing signal to provide continuous NTP ti e service and
output ti e code.
- Optional rack ount ears. 1 3/4" high.
- Optional 8 ti e code output buffer (-TDM).
1.2 TYMSERVE 2000 OVERVIEW
The TYMSERVE 2000 is a self-contained pri ary ti e server which uses GPS (-GPS version
only), IRIG B ti e code, an internal free running clock, an external 1 PPS input, or (-ACTS
only) the NIST Auto ated Co puter Ti e Service (ACTS) as its ti e source. Utilizing the NTP
protocol (version 2 RFC-1119 and version 3 RFC-1305) over an Ethernet, the user can aintain
ti e synchronization a ong all co puters connected to the network. The NTP Server provides
the ti e server function which synchronizes other hosts on the network, and is never
synchronized by these other hosts. Utilizing NTP, synchronization of hosts to within 1
illisecond of the input ti e source is achievable under the best conditions. The -ACTS version
provides ti ing accuracies to within 10 s of UTC, but will still synchronize hosts to within 1
s of the TYMSERVE.
The -GPS and -IRIG versions of the NTP Server provide an IRIG B ti e code output
synchronized to the input ti e source. By using a ti e code reader odule installed in the users
co puter, ti e can be obtained (fro the reader) to accuracies on the order of 20 μsec.
Banco offers ti e code reader odules for the IBM PC bus, VMEbus, Qbus, STD bus, and
SBX bus.
The principal perfor ance characteristics are listed in Table 1-1.
