HD9010TM High Definition Time Code Master Manual
3.4.2. Setting the Generator Time
When the HD9010TM generator is not operating in the Continuous Jam Sync mode, the user can set
the generator time using the following procedure. (In the continuous jam sync mode, the generator will
be slaved to incoming code from the reader.) Press the DISPLAY key and turn the SHAFT ENCODER
knob to display the generator time if it is not already displayed. The display prompt will show GTM
when generator time is being displayed. Press GEN HOLD key (when the Generator is being displayed
on the front panel) to start or stop the generator clock. The ENTER (SELECT) and ESC keys are used
in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the generator time.
When entering time data make sure that the generator is not in the continuous JAM
SYNC mode (indicated when the JAM LED is on). If it is, press SHIFT + JAM to
return to free run mode.
Press the ENTER key to recall the last time that you entered into the generator. The display prompt at
the left of the display will blink while data entry mode is active, and the dual functioned keys are now
changed to their numeric values. If you want to re-enter this time press the ENTER key to complete the
data entry into the generator time.
Pressing any numeric key will clear the previous value and place the new value into the numeric
display, starting at the right. Un-entered digits are assumed to be zero, hence leading zero digits are
not required. When the required number of digits are entered, then press the ENTER key to complete
the data entry into the generator time.
Attempts to enter too many digits, or make illegal entries, i.e. 65 minutes, will result in the display
returning to the last valid time entry made. Re-enter the correct value and press the ENTER key.
Pressing the ESC key will cancel the data entry mode without changing any data.
The numeric keys return to their normal display functions when the data entry has been completed by
pressing ENTER or cancelled by pressing the ESC key. The display prompt will return to its steady On
state when data entry mode has been completed.
Numeric entry mode must be terminated (GTM will be On steady) before any of the
front panel keys will resume normal operation.
3.4.3. Setting the Generator User Bits
When the HD9010TM generator is operating in the Time Data mode, the user can set the generator
user bits using the following procedure. Press the DISPLAY key and turn the SHAFT ENCODER knob
to display the generator user bits if they are not already displayed. The display prompt will show GUB
when user bits are displayed.
When the HD9010TM is in the Time Rtime or Time Rub modes, the user bits are being transferred from
the primary reader. Attempts to enter user bits manually from the front panel will not be allowed.
The ENTER (SELECT) and ESC keys are used in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the
generator user bits.
