PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) Output

The NetRS receiver can generate a 1PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) timing signal on the rear panel connector labeled 1PPS-OUT. This signal is a positive-going pulse approximately eight microseconds long. When the NetRS is tracking GPS satellites, the positive-going edge of the pulse is aligned to within a microsecond of exact UTC seconds. When the NetRS is reset to factory defaults, the 1PPS signal is disabled.

The Pulse-Per-Second Output page can be used to enable or disable the PPS signal. Select the Enable or Disable button and click OK to activate your choice.

Note that on some Trimble GPS products, a slope control allows generating an inverted 1PPS signal where the timing edge is negative-going. The NetRS product does not have this feature.
