GSync® Model 391

 
     
  The GSync® is a compact 1U high, 19" rack mountable GPS Time and Frequency instrument based on the FEI-Zyfer CommSync II Time and Frequency system. When space is at a premium and redundancy is not required, the modular design of the GSync offers a perfect solution.

The instrument allows for a multitude of frequency and timing outputs for various commercial and military applications. The instrument is available with either a Civil L1-C/A signal or with a Military L1/L2-P(Y) signal SAASM receiver, and uses most of the same plug-in modules used in the CommSync II. These include Low Phase Noise sine wave, T1/E1, Time Code and NTP modules.

Like our flagship CommSync II, the GSync provides a frequency accuracy of 1E-12 and a time accuracy of <50ns Peak to UTC.  Additional I/O slots can be utilized by configuring a slaved GSync Time and Frequency Distribution system.

For Monitor and Control functions there is an RS-232 communications port on the rear panel chassis, a front panel keypad and display as well as optional Ethernet plug-in modules providing Telnet, SNMP and Network Time Protocol. Zyfer Monitor (Zyfer's remote access utility) provides complete remote control, including system status, setup, alarm logging and user management over a standard TCP/IP connection.
