4.9 TTL Output Board (NR1219)

The TTL output board can provide 8 TTL standardized outputs. The output signals are optional:
IRIG-B signals, PPS signals or PPM signals. The 8 outputs are divided into two groups. The
outputs No.1 to No.4 are in the first group, and the outputs No.5 to No.8 are in the second group.
The output signal of each group can be configured through setting the jumpers on this board. The
output pulses are optional: positive pulse or negative pulse; they also can be configured through
setting the jumpers on this board. In general, the IRIG-B signals choose positive pulse output
mode, the PPS signals and the PPM signals choose negative pulse output mode.

The front view of the TTL output board is shown in Figure 4.9-1.

A 22-Pin male connector is fixed on the front of the TTL output board. The terminal definition of the
connector is described as below.

There are some jumpers on this board for various purposes.

The jumpers J1 and J2 are used to set the pulse output mode.

NOTE: In above table, the symbol means the jumper is connected, and the symbol

means the jumper is disconnected.

The jumper JP4, JP5 and JP6 are used to configure the output signals of the first group, and the
jumper JP1, JP2 and JP3 have the same function for the output signals of the second group. If one
of these jumpers is connected in each group, the output signals of the relevant group are selected.

Table 4.9-3 Configure output signals of first group and second group

Jumper Name Description

Group 1 JP4 The outputs of the first group are PPS signals.
(channel JP5 The outputs of the first group are PPM signals.
1,2,3,4) JP6 The outputs of the first group are IRIG-B signals.
Group 2 JP1 The outputs of the second group are PPS signals.
(channel JP2 The outputs of the second group are PPM signals.
5,6,7,8) JP3 The outputs of the second group are IRIG-B signals.

NOTE: Only one jumper can be connected in each group at the same time. Otherwise

the output signals are disordered.

Other jumpers on this board are reserved and must be unconnected.

4.10 AC Modulation Output Board (NR1220)

The AC modulation output board can provide 7 IRIG-B outputs through 1 kHz AC modulation. The
output signals are IRIG-B signals only. The 7 outputs are divided into two groups. The outputs
No.1 to No.4 are in the first group, and the outputs No.5 to No.7 are in the second group.

Output AC voltage range is 0 to 10V (PPV: peak to peak value). The amplitude modulation rate
(AMR) is 3:1 and the output error is less than 10 s.

The front view of the modulation output board is shown in Figure 4.10-1.
