Product Description
The Model GS-102B GPS/IRIG-B Synchronized Time Code Generator (STCG) is a low cost high performance STCG that provides many features not found on higher cost units. When operated in the GPS mode, time and rates are precisely referenced to UTC. When operated in the IRIG mode, time and rates are precisely referenced to the IRIG generating source. Time, position and status are available on the RS-232 I/O and the USB Ports. An optional 10MHz output is also available.
The Model GS-102B STCG is ideal for providing time, rates and position information in laboratory or portable situations. This unit is ideal for camera and range applications as well as computer synchronization via the available GUI. The GS-102B can provide the drive for large format wall and console time displays. In addition its small and rugged packaging is ideal for portable or dynamic applications. Rechargeable internal batteries provide more than 24 hours of operation when the unit is operated in Power Save mode.
The time is referenced to UTC when operating in the GPS mode. The RS-232 and manual control allow the user to configure the unit to provide local or daylight savings time or to configure the programmable pulse.
The GS-102B has an optional weather-resistant carrying case with external access to two rear-panel connectors. Separately, an external power switch option is also available.
