6.3 Set Local Hour Set Local Hour Use “Set Local Hour” to offset the time from UTC to your locale and any Daylight Saving settings if they apply. Offsets may be adjusted in 15-minute increments, up to plus or minus 12 hours. Daylight Saving is adjusted for start and stop times, based on month, week of month, day and time of day.
The Setup Menus 6.3.1 Set Daylight Saving Time (DST) For automatic changeover, use the AUTO setting explained above. Make sure to determine the changeover requirements in your locale before trying to adjust these clock settings. The default setup is for North America, where DST begins on the second Sunday of March at 2 am and ends on the first Sunday of November at 2 am.
6.4 Set Out of Lock Set Out of Lock Use the “Set Out of Lock” feature to control how the clock responds to an out-of-lock condition. Out of Lock means that the GPS receiver in the clock is no longer tracking any satellites and that the time may drift according to characteristics of the internal clock and environmental conditions.
The Setup Menus Set Back Light If the optional back light (Option 01) is installed in the clock, use the “Set Back Light” menu to configure how the back light operates. If back light is not installed, then the “Set Back Light” menu will have no effect.
6.6 Set System Delays Set System Delays Use the “Set System Delays” menu to set the delay in time for the GPS signal received at the GPS antenna to reach the GPS receiver. The delay in nanoseconds (10 seconds) is a product of the length of the cable and the its velocity factor.
The Setup Menus Set Programmable Pulse Mode Use the “Set Prog. Pulse” menu to set up one of the many pulse modes available for broadcasting a pulse from J2 J5 (see Table 5.2 and Figure 5.1) at a predetermined interval or rate. Also, there is a “pulse-per-day”...
6.7 Set Programmable Pulse Mode 6.7.2 Prog Pulse – Seconds–Per–Pulse Mode Use the Seconds–Per–Pulse mode to generate a pulse every X number of seconds, from 1 to 60,000 seconds, and a Pulse Width of from 10 milliseconds to 600 seconds. Refer to Section 6.7 above for additional detail on the Programmable Pulse mode.
The Setup Menus 6.7.3 Prog Pulse – Pulse–Per–Hour Mode Use the Pulse–Per–Hour mode to generate a pulse every hour, at the number of specified seconds (from 0 to 3599 seconds) after the hour. Refer to Section 6.7 above for additional detail on the Programmable Pulse mode, and Entering Numerical Values.
6.7 Set Programmable Pulse Mode 6.7.4 Prog Pulse – Pulse–Per–Day Mode Use the Pulse–Per–Day mode to generate a pulse every day, at the specified hour, minute, second and fractional seconds.

For reference, many calendars indicate the Julian Day. Refer to Section 6.7 above for additional detail on the Programmable Pulse mode, and Entering Numerical Values.
6.7 Set Programmable Pulse Mode 6.7.6 Prog Pulse – Slow Code Slow code is a programmable pulse mode that causes the output voltage to be held high and go low for six seconds on the day, four seconds on the hour and two seconds on the minute. Note: Make sure to set the Pulse Polarity to negative for normal operation.
The Setup Menus 6.7.7 Prog Pulse – Pulse Polarity Use “Pulse Polarity” to change the pulse’s OFF-to-ON behavior as follows: 1. Positive: the voltage is held low (0 Vdc) when the pulse is off and transitions high (5 Vdc) when on. 2.
6.8 Set IRIG Time Data Set IRIG Time Data Use the “Set IRIG Time Data” menu to adjust the time zone for IRIG-B Time Data between your locale and UTC, and to turn ON or OFF the IEEE-1344 extension. The IEEE-1344 extension controls some additional information contained in the IRIG-B time code (see Section 7.3.3).
The Setup Menus Setting the Event/Deviation Modes (A or B) Use the Event/Deviation Mode to capture an event at J3 and/or J4; alternatively use the main RS-232C port for Event A. Configure for either event timing (up to 200 stored events per channel), or one pulse-per-second (1 PPS) deviation, including sigma (see Section 8.2.3 for details on the principle of deviation measurement).
6.9 Setting the Event/Deviation Modes (A or B) 6.9.1 Arming the Event Input When using J3 or J4, note that the event function continually arms itself for the next event until the buffer is full. When using the RS-232C port as the input, you must arm the event function for each event from the front panel or by using the AR command.
The Setup Menus 6.9.2 Setting The Frequency Reference The Model 1088B can accept an external clock signal in place of the internal clock signal. If you are going to use an external Frequency Reference, connect it to J5 on the rear panel. Acceptable signals are 100 kHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz and 10 MHz.
6.10 Setting the Auto Survey Mode 6.10 Setting the Auto Survey Mode Use one of the Auto Survey modes to control how and when the clock determines position infor- mation. The accuracy of the position (and indirectly, time) is based on averaging the assigned number of position fixes surveyed, either during startup or by a single survey.
The Setup Menus 6.11 Set Position Hold ON or OFF With Position Hold turned ON, the surveyed position is placed into memory and used for computing more precise timing solutions. With Position Hold turned OFF, the GPS receiver is placed in the Fix mode, calculating a new position approximately every second.
6.12 Set Option Control 6.12 Set Option Control The Model 1088B has two internal option slots (Slot A and Slot B) to increase its functionality. Use the “Set Option Control” menu to configure any Slot A or Slot B option mounted in the clock. Some of these options require you to configure additional settings;...
Chapter 7 Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Introduction This section should help you with understanding, choosing and connecting the correct outputs from the Model 1088B series clocks to synchronize equipment, such as protective relays. It should also answer some basic questions, such as: What are the different types of IRIG-B, and how are they different? How do you connect multiple devices to one timing output? How far can you transmit timing signals?
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Timing Output Description When viewing the rear panel of the Model 1088B, you will see that there are a number of different types of connectors as illustrated in Figure 7.1. Generally, there is a power inlet connector, a GPS antenna connector, one DB-9 serial connectors, a series of four connector plugs and one option plate.
Table 7.1: Drive Current vs. Voltage Output Signal Description Model 1088A/B can provide twenty different digital signals and two analog signals that are listed in Table 5.2. With an option card installed in Slot A or B, all of these signals are available at the option card as well;...
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses 7.3.2 Modulated and Unmodulated IRIG-B Figure 7.2 illustrates the primary differences between modulated and unmodulated IRIG-B. You will notice that the while modulated IRIG-B is distinctive because of the 1 kHz sinewave carrier, it is similar to unmodulated IRIG-B since the peak-to-peak values of the carrier follow the same form as the digital waveform, where the information is contained.
7.4 Connecting Outputs that the rising edge is “on time” as compared with the signal from the Global Positioning System (GPS). It has the same drive power as any other digital signal available from the 1088B. See Figure 7.2 for a comparison between unmodulated IRIG-B and 1 PPS. 7.3.5 Programmable Pulse (PROG PULSE) The Model 1088B has an independent programmable pulse feature that requires setting a jumper...

7.4 Connecting Outputs with no loads) is approximately 10 Vpp, so any connected loads will cause the available voltage to drop. It is a simple task to compute the available output voltage (Vpp) with a known current. (7.2) V pp = 10 V pp 557 Ohms Therefore, if you had 10 mA of load current (I load) the available voltage (Vpp) would be 4.43 Vpp.
(VF), which is a percentage of the speed of light in free space, and characteristic of the specific cable. The velocity factor for the RG-6 cabling used by Arbiter Systems for GPS antenna connections, is about 83% of C. Most transmission lines have velocity factors in the range of 65% to 97%.
Chapter 8 Relay Contacts and Event Inputs Relay Contacts, Model 1088B can supply relay contacts through installation of an optional accessory. Option 19 provides one Form C (SPDT) set of contacts that can be used for the Out-of-Lock function. Option 29 provides four additional timing outputs and has two solid-state relays available with output multiple functions and +25/50 Vdc supplies.
Relay Contacts and Event Inputs 8.2.3 Deviation Measurement Both Channel A and B inputs can also be configured to display measured event times as 1 pulse- per-second (1 PPS) deviation measurements. The intended purpose of the deviation measurement function is to allow comparison of an external 1–PPS signal to the clock’s internal 1–PPS signal. The clock determines the mean time difference between the two signals, which can be displayed on the front panel or read via the RS-232 Interface.
8.2 Event Inputs Where: “nnn” = event number (001 to 200) “ddd” = day of year of the event (1 to 366) “hh” = hour of the event (00 to 23) “mm” = minute of the event (00 to 59) “ss.sssssss”...
Relay Contacts and Event Inputs To perform event trapping via the RS-232C interface, the circuit must first be ARMED; that is, made ready to receive an event trigger. Only one event may be captured after every arming, but the events are stored sequentially in the event buffer in exactly the same manner as the normal event time mode, thereby allowing up to 200 events to be recorded.
Chapter 9 Serial Communication and Command Introduction The Model 1088B has one main RS-232C port, and one optional RS-232C port (Option 17A). These are labeled RS-232C and Option RS-232C. When viewing the rear panel, the main port is nearest the antenna connector and the optional port is to the left of the Standard I/O connectors. It is important to note that neither the standard RS-232, nor the Option RS-232C port have an RS-485 function and neither RS-232C ports use flow control.
