Absolute Time Interface (ATI)

The Absolute Time Interface (ATI) enables all the 4Links test equipment in a test system to be synchronized to an accurate IRIG-B time source, so that timing measurements can be made with all of the units sharing a common time reference and reporting events with consistent time tags.

The ATI provides a synchronising signal to a daisy-chain of coaxial cable connections between the 4Links test devices. It also has a single SpaceWire port which outputs a 1 pulse per second SpaceWire Time Code for use by the nodes of the SpaceWire network-under-test.
