Symmetricom's TymMachine™ 7000 is both a time code generator and a time code translator that can easily be switched to function as a synchronised time code generator. An integral serial RS-232 port allows control of many of the variables via the utility program. Optional capabilities, such as Video Time Insertion, Parallel Time Output, and Tape Search & Control are provided by means of plug-in modules that are easily installed in option slots in the rear of the chassis.

The Time Code Generator outputs IRIG B120 (with Control Functions and Straight Binary Seconds) via a BNC connector, and also outputs a selected code (either IRIG A132, B122, G142, NASA 36, 2137, XR3 or ANG &Q53 (250 Hz) [BCD TIME ONLY] via another BNC connector. The generator can be set to operate independently, even while the translator is processing a time code input. The Time Code Translator reads any of 14 different time codes at various speeds (tape speed-up and slowdown) and both forward and reverse directions. The time code input is conditioned by both a lowpass filter and a phase-locked tracking filter to provide the ultimate in performance when translating time codes that are contaminated by noise and distortion.

Most operating parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, making initialisation after a power loss unnecessary. A rechargeable battery prevents time loss after an external power failure. The unit runs automatic self-test diagnostics each time power is turned on. Any abnormal test result is displayed on the front panel to aid in determining the proper corrective action.
