6.2.12 TIC Measurements
The ATS-6501 is capable of providing up to 4 TIC measurements on a single 4393A Card. The
measurement average (Port 2100) is 10 seconds by default. The raw measurements are output on
each active channel (Port 2101).
• Raw Measurements (Port 2101):
o All of the active channels should have a measurement once per second. If not the 1
PPS input from the device under test is missing.
o Inactive inputs ports (channels) will not report measurements.
• Average Measurements (Port 2100):
o The number of samples (nn event average) should match the settings ptd_port value.
If not:
• The cable from the device under test was disconnected/reconnected during the
measurement process.
• ATS-6501 outputs were enabled during the measurement period.
• 1PPS from the source was interrupted during the measurement process.
• The 1PPS signal is missing
• Make sure the interval is set properly, the unit will not report the measurement
results and the average for that period until the period expires (i.e. 300 seconds =
5 minutes).
6.2.13 4391 Code Generator
Ensure the system is properly set up for the card by ensuring:
• The proper bit code files are loaded on the system. Use bitcode_list to confirm filenames
and to ensure the proper file size.
• Make sure the bitcode_clocks are set to the proper rate and delay values. Also make sure
the clock(s) are enabled.
