1PPS Output: Edit Window

To configure the settings of a 1PPS Output, go to its Edit window. For instructions, see: Configuring Option Card Inputs/Outputs.

The Web UI list entries for these option cards are:

  • 1PPS OUT, 4-BNC
  • 1PPS OUT, 10 V
  • 1PPS OUT, RS-485
  • 1PPS OUT, Fiber

Note: SecureSync starts numbering I/O ports with 0 (only 1PPS and 10 MHz outputs start at 1, because of the built-in outputs).

The Edit window allows the configuration of the following settings:

  • Signature Control: Used to control when the 1PPS output signal will be present. See Signature Control.
  • Offset: Used to account for 1PPS cable delays or other latencies in the 1PPS output. The Offset value is entered and displayed in nanoseconds (ns). The available Offset range is -500 to +500 ms.
  • Edge: The operator can select if the output signal is a positive (reference on the rising edge) or a negative (reference on the falling edge) pulse.
  • Pulse Width: Configures the Pulse Width of the 1PPS output. The Pulse Width is entered and displayed in nanoseconds (ns). The default Pulse Width is 200 milliseconds.

1PPS Output: Status Window

To view the current settings of a 1PPS Output, go to its Status window. For instructions, see: Viewing Input/Output Configuration Settings.

The Web UI list entries for these option cards are:

  • 1PPS OUT, 4-BNC
  • 1PPS OUT, 10V
  • 1PPS OUT, RS-485
  • 1PPS OUT, Fiber

Note: SecureSync starts numbering I/O ports with 0 (only 1PPS and 10 MHz outputs start at 1, because of the built-in outputs).

The Status window displays the following settings:

  • Signature Control: Displays the current configuration of Signature Control; see Signature Control.
  • Frequency: Indicates the configured frequency of the 1PPS output signal.
  • Offset: Displays the configured Offset (to account for cable delays or other latencies).
  • Edge: Shows if the on-time point of the 1PPS output is the rising or falling edge of the pulse.
  • Pulse Width: Displays the configured Pulse Width of the 1PPS output. The Pulse Width is displayed in nanoseconds (ns). The default Pulse Width is 200 milliseconds.
