Description

Model:

Meinberg LANTIME M1000

Measurements Provided:

Precision Time Codes:

IRIG-B 122 Amplitude Modulated (AM)
NTP; Network Time Protocol
1PPS; Pulse per Second; TTL
10Mhz output; sine wave

General Description:

Timing signals are used primarily by data acquisition computers and instruments to provide accurate time tagging of data. The timeservers all take a GPS antenna in and produce a number of timing signals.
- Network Time Protocol (NTP). Ethernet based distribution. RFC 958.
- IRIG-B 122 AM. Separate physical line with distribution box.
- Pulse per second (1-PPs). Separate physical line with distribution box.
- 10Mhz pulse signal
- Some models may have RS-232 or Ethernet (UDP) output.

Measurement Characteristics:

Overall estimate of uncertainty: IRIG-B is single digit microseconds, NTP is single digit milliseconds.
