GSG-7. The CDM-7 will derive its own PPS signal from this external 10 MHz signal. Asynchronous External The CDM-7 will distribute the external 10 MHz signal and the derived PPS signal inside the GSG-7. The default mode is “Internal”. www.safran-navigation-timing.com GSG-7 Getting Started Guide | 13... - Page 14 2. In the Preferences menu, click the CDM-7 tab. 3. The CDM-7 mode can be changed using the Device Mode drop-down. The next time a simulation is started in Skydel, the CDM-7 will use the newly selected mode. www.safran-navigation-timing.com 14 | GSG-7 Getting Started Guide...
