Products

The V-data Timecode Reader Model TCR decodes IRIG-B timecode and displays the time on the PC screen. It also allows the PC clock to be synchronized with IRIG-B time and shows the millisecond error between the PC clock and the incoming IRIG-B at any moment. The TCR is optimized for use with the V-data TCG but will also work with generic sources of IRIG-B at nominal 3V peak-peak level. There is a BNC connector for IRIG-B, a DB9M connector for the TCG, and a USB connector for the PC. The latest software version is available for free download below under software. Requires XP, Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 Operating System and a USB port. USB drivers for TCR hardware can be downloaded from FTDI's website: Windows 32/64 bit D2XX drivers.

The V-data Timecode Generator Model TCG is a crystal controlled IRIG-B Timecode source which will synchronize with 1 microsecond accuracy to GPS receiver outputs when available, otherwise reverting to coast or fail-safe mode. Available with internal GPS receiver/antenna, or compatible with external GPS receiver/antenna Models GPS-18xLVC and GPS-17xHVS below under accessories. For information on product enclosure, please go to CircuitShell.com.

(See downloads for instructions and files needed to upgrade the firmware in the GPS-18x internal or external receivers used with the V-data TCG. The firmware upgrade will resolve date errors caused by the GPS roll-over.)
