Description
DCF77 Correlation Receiver (Eurocard)


By evaluating the pseudo-random sequence (PZF), which is part of the DCF77 signal in addition to the amplitude modulation, the PZF510 is capable to reproduce a time pattern in the range of microseconds. This allows generation of high precision pulses and an accurate adjustment of the main oscillator of the system. Besides various standard frequencies, the board provides a programmable frequency output. Additional features of PZF510 are pulses per second (PPS) and per minute (PPM) and two RS232 interfaces.
