These signals can be individually configured using the Meinberg Device Manager software. The orientation of the pulse signals can be inverted on each channel and the pulse width can be set to a value within a range of 10 ms to 10 s, depending on the signal, in 10 ms increments.
By default, the output of these interfaces is left disabled when the device is switched on until the receiver has suc- cessfully synchronized. However, it is possible to configure the serial interfaces to have the outputs enabled im- mediately when the system is booted. This process is described in detail in Chapter 9.4, “Outputs Settings”.
