    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeSource 3600 Functional Description Alarm Programmability Releases of TimeSource (1.05.03 and above) allow the user to provision the alarm escalation parameters that were hardcoded in the previous releases of TS3000.hex. The defaults for this release remain the same as were previously hardcoded. This feature can be used to set the programmability for such alarms as GPS, HOLDOVER, SPAN-X, and RO-X.

    A compromise often must be made between location and satellite field of view. With a smaller field of view, the TimeSource 3600 can use fewer satellites in the solution for GPS derived time. The TimeSource 3600 will operate with an average of one satellite in view for 40 percent of the time in a day.
