Page 5: Introduction
Introduction In the early 1950's the use of coded timing signals for correlation of data began to take on widespread importance. Especially the U.S space and missile programs were the forces behind the development of new time codes. The definition of time code formats was completely arbitrary and left to the individual ideas of each design engineer. -
Page 6: Function
PPS signal is still synchronized by IRIG. Initial Time and date can be set by a standard Meinberg telegram via serial port COM0. TCR509 can re-calculate UTC from received IRIG-Time if there are no time zone changeovers (such as daylight saving) performed in the IRIG telegram. -
Page 7: Setting Into Operation
Setting into operation To obtain a correct operation of the TCR509, please pay attention to the following points. Supply Voltage The board only needs a single supply voltage of +5V. Source should be able to supply at least 200mA. Input Signals The IRIG-A/B signal must be applied to the SMB-Connector. -
Page 8: Serial Port Configuration
Serial Port Configuration Baudrate and framing for each of the both serial ports can be configured seperately by three dip switches. SW1-1 SW1-2 Baudrate 19200 9600 4800 2400 Baudrate of serial port COM0 SW1-3 Datenformat Framing of serial port COM0 SW1-5 SW1-6 Baudrate... -
Page 9: Operating Mode Of The Serial Ports
Each of the two serial ports is configurable separately for two operating modes. If the 'per second' mode is selected, the TCR509 automatically issues a Meinberg standard time string at the beginnig of every new second. When selecting the 'on request' mode TCR509 issues a timestring at the beginning of the next second after the character '?' (ASCII-Code 3Fh) was received. -
Page 10: The Dcf Simulation Mode
The DCF Simulation Mode In DCF-Simulation mode the TTL and current loop outputs provide a time mark signal similar to the signals transmitted by the german VLF time code transmitter DCF77. Within one minute a complete time code frame is transmitted. Since there are no timezone and leap second announcements in the IRIG time code, these announcement flags (daylight saving flag, leap second flag) are neglected. -
Page 11: Updating The Firmware
Updating the Firmware Whenever it is necessarry to upgrade the on-board software, the new firmware can be downloaded using the serial port COM0. If the /BOOT input, which is available on the 64 Pin VG-Connector, is pulled low during a power up reset, an internal bootstrap-loader is activated and waits for instruc- tions from the serial port COM0. -
Page 12: Specifications
Software watchdog generates reset in case of improper program execution Initialization: Initial time and date of hardware clock can be set by a Meinberg standard telegram via serial port COM0. Pulse Outputs: one PPS-Output, TTL Level, 200ms length, positive and inverted. -

Page 14: Format Of The Meinberg Standard Time String
Format of the Meinberg Standard Time String The Meinberg Standard Time String is a sequence of 32 ASCII characters starting with the STX (start-of-text) character and ending with the ETX (end-of-text) character. The format is: <STX>D:dd.mm.yy;T:w;U:hh.mm.ss;uvxy<ETX> The letters printed in italics are replaced by ASCII numbers whereas the other characters are part of the time string. -

Page 18: The Program Tcrmon.exe
The Program TCRMON.EXE The program TCRMON was designed to monitor and control all functions of the Meinberg IRIG-Time Code Reader TCR509. TCRMON is executable in a Win9x and WinNT environment. To install TCRMON just start Setup.exe from the enclosed Disk and follow the instructions of the installation program. -
