1 PPS Out
A time-stable 1 PPS (one pulse per second) output is provided. If no reference is available,
the 1 PPS pulse will be as stable as the internal oscillator.

Five flags are encoded in the control function segment of the IRIG B code, (IRIG B-120,
B000, B120 1344, B000 1344). The first flag encoded at element P5+40ms is the LOCK
indicator. It is a binary 1 when the reference source has become unlocked. The second flag
encoded at element P5+60ms is a binary 1 when the worst case time error exceeds
threshold 1 element P5+70ms is a binary 1 when the worst case time error exceeds
threshold 2. Element P5+80ms encodes a binary 1 when the error exceeds threshold 3 and
P5+90ms when the error exceeds threshold 4.
The time code resets as follows:
