Introduction

Overview

This manual contains procedures and information for proper installation and operation of
the Symmetricom 8040C/8040CLN Rubidium Frequency Standard.

Purpose of Equipment

The 8040C/8040CLN is a highly accurate and stable Rubidium frequency reference
standard that provides atomic clock performance in a user-configurable 1 U rack-mount
chassis. Each of the connectors can be individually programmed to generate any of the
following frequency outputs:

1, 5 or 10 MHz sine wave

1, 5 or 10 MHz square wave

1 PPS
The 8040C uses Symmetricom's model SA.22C Rubidium as its internal oscillator, and
provides direct user control via an RS-232 to perform the following tasks:

Adjust the SA.22C Rubidium oscillator frequency.

Syntonize (tune) the SA.22C to an external 1 PPS input.
