NTP time server PTU

GPS

Brandywine's Portable Timing Unit (PTU) is a low cost, battery operated, transportable timing system that is designed to provide precise time of day at point of use. The PTU may be automatically synchronized by means of either GPS signals including SAASM GPS, or by a serial time code such as IRIG B or Have Quick. Outputs include: NTP, IRIG A, IRIG B, IRIG G, Have Quick, and 1PPS. A range of options are available for the oscillator which include: Rubidium, OCXO, or TCXO. Built in a rugged, weather-proof case the PTU is easily transportable to any location and can be used in all weather conditions to give precise Time and Frequency. Reference Input Sources The PTU is extremely flexible in its ability to synchronize to a variety of timing sources. Available references are: 16 channel GPS SPS receiver (standard) 12 channel GB-GRAM SAASM GPS receiver (optional) IRIG B Time Code (standard) HaveQuick/1PPS from external GPS receiver (standard) Once synchronized to the selected reference, the PTU will use the reference to continuously calibrate its internal oscillator so that accurate time can be maintained in the absence the reference. Front panel LEDs indicate the reference type in use, and whether time is valid. The PTU can be configured to always use a particular reference source, or automatically select whatever source is available.
