This System consists of the Master Timing Transmitter and the Local Timing Receivers. The Master Timing Transmitter located in the control room initiates timing messages, abort messages and precise delay messages. A sync message is sent when one of the other three is not being sent. The Local Timing Receiver, located in the equipment area, decodes the incoming messages and generates 6 MHz, 3MHz and 1 MHz continuous clocks. A 250 KHz sync clock is derived from the sync messages, to which all pulse outputs are synchronized. The Local Timing Receiver also provides two ON-OFF delay counters of 64 bits each, and one OFF delay counter of 32 bits. Detection of abort messages and an out-of-sync signal will automatically disable all outputs.
