3.4.2. Setting the Generator Time
When the 8010TM-IRIG generator is not operating in the Convert 25
generator time using the following procedure. Press the DISPLAY key one or more times 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. In the continuous jam sync mode, the generator will be slaved to
incoming code from the reader. The ENTER and CLEAR 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. Unentered 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 CLEAR 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 CLEAR key. The display prompt will return to its steady
On state when data entry mode has been completed.
OPERATION
Model 8010TM-IRIG SDI Time Code Master with IRIG Reader Manual
Gmode time rctl sets the 8010TM-IRIG into a user bit remote control
mode. In this mode six of the input pins on the parallel remote control
port are used to control the setting of the six remote control user bits.
When the 7721GPI-D GPI decoder module reads the VITC, these
encoded user bits directly control six contact closure outputs. When
the 8010TM-IRIG is placed into the TIME RCTL mode, special binary
group flags are set, signaling the remote control mode to the decoder.
This allows an extra level of security at the decoder and ensures that
random user bit patterns do not inadvertently activate the contact
closure outputs of the decoder.
When the user selects the remote control mode, the generator user bits
will be set to
XX 80 80 93
Where the value of XX depends on the states of the remote control
input pins. See Table 3-3.
