• grid UTC/GNSS - Selection between UTC (0), GPS (1), GLONASS (2), BeiDou (3) and (4) Galileo
timegrid. Also affects the time output by UBX-TIM-TP message.
The maximum pulse length cannot exceed the pulse period.
Time pulse settings shall be chosen in such a way that neither the high nor the low period of
the output is less than 50 ns (except when disabling it completely), otherwise pulses can be
lost.
3.10.10.5.1 Example
The  example  below  shows  the  1PPS  TIMEPULSE  signal  generated  on  the  time  pulse  output
according to the specific parameters of the CFG-TP-* configuration group:
• CFG-TP-TP1_ENA = 1
• CFG-TP-PERIOD_TP1 = 1 000 000 µs
• CFG-TP-LEN_TP1 = 100 000 µs
• CFG-TP-TIMEGRID_TP1 = 1 (GPS)
• CFG-TP-PULSE_LENGTH_DEF = 0 (Period)
• CFG-TP-ALIGN_TO_TOW_TP1 = 1
• CFG-TP-USE_LOCKED_TP1 = 1
• CFG-TP-POL_TP1 = 1
• CFG-TP-PERIOD_LOCK_TP1 = 100 000 µs
• CFG-TP-LEN_LOCK_TP1 = 100 000 µs
The 1 Hz output is maintained whether or not the receiver is locked to GPS time. The alignment to
TOW can only be maintained when GPS time is locked.

3.10.11 Time mark
The receiver can be used to provide an accurate measurement of the time at which a pulse was
detected on the external interrupt pin. The reference time can be chosen by setting the time source
parameter to UTC, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo or local time in the CFG-TP-* configuration group.
The UTC standard can be set in the CFG-NAVSPG-* configuration group. The delay figures defined
with CFG-TP-* are also applied to the results output in the UBX-TIM-TM2 message.
A UBX-TIM-TM2 message is output at the next epoch if
• The UBX-TIM-TM2 message is enabled, and
• A rising or falling edge was triggered since last epoch on one of the EXTINT channels.
The  UBX-TIM-TM2  messages  includes  the  time  of  the  last  time  mark,  new  rising/falling  edge
indicator, time source, validity, number of marks and an accuracy estimate.
