Description


By evaluating the pseudo-random sequence (PZF), which is part of the DCF77 signal in addition to the amplitude modulation, the PZF511 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 PZF511 are pulses per second (PPS) and per minute (PPM), three RS232 interfaces and IRIG timecode outputs.
