3 General information 3 General information The satellite clocks made by Meinberg have been designed to provide extremely precise time to their users. The clocks have been developed for applications where conventional radio clocks can´t meet the growing re- quirements in precision. High precision available 24 hours a day around the whole world is the main feature of the new system which receives its information from the satellites of the Global Positioning System.
5 GPS180PEX Features 5 GPS180PEX Features The board GPS180PEX is designed as a „low profile“ board for computers with PCI Express interface. The rear slot cover integrates the antenna connector, a BNC connector for modulated time codes, two status LEDs and a 9pin SUB-D male connector.
If the capture buffer is full a message "** capture buffer full" is transmitted, if the interval between two captures is too short the warning "** capture overrun" is being sent via COM1. Date: 28th March 2018 GPS180PEX...
5.4 Pulse and frequency outputs The pulse generator of the clock GPS180PEX contains three independent channels (PPO0, PPO1, PPO2). These TTL outputs can be mapped to pins at the 9-pin connector at the rear slot cover by using a DIP switch.
15th up to the 58th second every minute. The absence of any time mark at the 59th second of a minute signals that a new minute will begin with the next time mark. The DCF emulation output is enabled immediately after power-up. Date: 28th March 2018 GPS180PEX...
figure beside. This port can not be used as serial port for the computer. Instead, it can be uses to send out Meinberg’s standard time string to an external device. A DIP switch on the board can be used to wire some TTL inputs or outputs (0..5V) to some connector pins.

7 Powering up the system Installing the GPS180PEX in your computer The computer has to be turned off and its case must be opened. The radio clock can be installed in any PCI Express slot not used yet. The rear plane must be removed before the board can be plugged in carefully. The computer´s case should be closed again and the antenna can be connected to the coaxial plug at the clock’s...
