  • Page 7 TPRO-IP ( ( ( ( The TPRO-IP is a precision clock that can be read through a host IP carrier. The TPRO-IP automatically synchronizes to standardized time code signals. It is used for time tagging. Time tagging can be done by reading the clock through four 16-bit time registers or by a logic pulse from the outside world (an "external event").

  • Page 13 Connect pin 31 to pin 32 so IPPS TTL level input doesn't float. The base address of the TPRO-IP in user host space is determined by configuration of the IP carrier and by which slot in the IP carrier the TPRO-IP is placed. For example, the Greenspring Computers VIPC310 VME bus dual IP carrier has a factory default base address of 6000 (for IP slot A) in A16 space.

  • Page 15 There are up to two inputs from the external world: input time code (if used) and a TTL external event pulse (if used). For the TPRO-IP, if input time code is not provided, the board will provide "local" timing starting at 000 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds.

  • Page 17 To correct for propagation delay, the TPRO-IP can use a propagation delay correction setting ranging between -1000 (because sometime sources transmit early) and +8999 µS. The default setting is 0 µS after the TPRO-IP is reset at power-on or after a RESET command from the user.

  • Page 21 + 8 When the low order register is read, the 3 high order time words are stored at the same time in an internal registers in the TPRO-IP. The 3 registers will be frozen until the low order time register is read again. So, whenever the high order registers are read, the time that is returned is the time when the low order register was last read.
  • Page 22 The user program should ALWAYS check the FIFO EMPTY flag (bit 0) for "1" before reading a byte from the FIFO. Otherwise user programs may be reading FIFO data out faster than the TPRO-IP firmware is writing data into the FIFO. Data is always written in 10 byte groups to the FIFO by the TPRO-IP firmware.

  • Page 24 "##!'7 "##!'7 Commands are sent as a sequence of bytes to the TPRO-IP command register (base address + 3). All commands should be spaced at least 100 µsec apart so the TPRO-IP firmware has enough time to handle each command. An easy way to generate a processor speed independent 100µsec time delay is to read the TPRO-IP status register 100 times.
  • Page 25 Propagation delay settings of 9000 µS to 9999 µS are used to set NEGATIVE propagation delay correction values of -1000 µS to-1µS respectively. For example, to set -500 µS use a setting of 9500 µS. So, the propagation delay correction range of the TPRO-IP is – 1000 µS to +8999 µS.
