7. IRIG-B000 module
IRIG-B000 module is used to receive the digital signal generated with an external clock; the
signal is in conformity to serial IRIG-B000 format. Note that the IRIG-B000 module is able to
receive digital signal (TTL) only (i.e., the reception of AM signal is not applicable). This module
is isolated using a photo coupler; the user should note A2 and B2 connectors are not used. The
peak value of IRIG-B000 signal should be greater than 3.5 volts; the IRIG-B000 module has
the input resistor (about 3k ohm). Thus, the terminal resistor can be required when the IRIG-
B000 signal is delivered for several devices; the value of the terminal resistor depends on the
number of deliveries and the performance of the external clocks. For setting of time
synchronization, see Chapter
