Time Code Generators
Masterclock's time code generators provide a source of very stable time code and accurate time and date information. The GPS500 extracts timing reference from GPS satellite signals and generate time code synchronized to within less than 10 microseconds of UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). It can output IRIG-B with and without IEEE 1344 date encoding, SMPTE/EBU, NMEA 0183, Kinemetrics/Truetime, and 1PPS.

Time Code Converters
Time Codes are like different languages. All too often communication between various equipment/devices is impossible due to a "language barrier." When you encounter this type of "language barrier," a Time Code Converter can offer a very simple and cost-effective solution by "translating" a time code. ESE provides several Time Code Converters and Time Code Displays with the ability to convert one time code to another. Time Code to NTP Converter units are the most recent addition to this product family.

IRIG Time Code Receiver & Generator for Computers (PCI Express)
TCR180PEX
Meinberg Funkuhren GmbH & Co. KG
The TCR180PEX receives IRIG-A/B/G, IEEE 1344, IEEE C37.118 or AFNOR NF S87-500 time codes and can be used for synchronizing the system time of its host PC. The IRIG output of this card can generate an IRIG signal for other IRIG time code readers. The output format is independent from the incoming IRIG signal - a perfect solution to your IRIG conversion requirements. It is used in applications like data acquisition, standalone computer time synchronization (for systems without a network connection or higher accuracy requirements) or as an IRIG converter device.

IRIG Time Code Receiver & Generator Module
TCR180
Meinberg Funkuhren GmbH & Co. KG
The module TCR180 has been designed to receive and to generate IRIG-A/B/G, IEEE 1344, IEEE C37.118 or AFNOR NF S87-500 time codes. It is used in applications like data acquisition, standalone computer time synchronization (for systems without a network connection or higher accuracy requirements) or as an IRIG converter device. The frequency locking of the master oscillator to the time code system enables this module to generate fixed and programmable standard frequencies with high accuracy and stability. Various oscillator options allow the cost efficient implementation of different requirements concerning the accurracy of the outputs. The generator of the IMS-TCR module generates pulses per second and per minute and per hour. Four programmable outputs are also available. The pulses are synchronized to UTC-second.

At-Speed Non-Intrusive Functional Testing
ScanExpress JET
Functional circuit board testing presents many challenges that are often costly and time consuming. Most functional tests need to be customized for each design, limiting reusability. This results in software engineers vying for time between development code and test code. Even when functional tests become available, the diagnostic details are often inadequate to give clear visibility on a given problem.ScanExpress JET is a tool designed to overcome these challenges by automating the functional test generation process on CPU–based IEEE-1149.1 compliant circuit boards. Coined JTAG Embedded Test, JET is the preferred method for at-speed, non-intrusive functional testing.
