Beidou Common View Observer

MS4140

Product Overview

The MS4140 Beidou Common View Observer is a standard time traceability device. It consists of a high-precision antenna, a time comparison device host, and monitoring and data processing software. It can trace back to national standard time, enabling remote time transmission and regeneration (up to 1500 km). Basic functions include receiving and processing navigation system satellite signals using user-provided time and frequency signals as a measurement reference, locally storing and outputting raw observation data and common view data in real time, and ultimately enabling common view time comparison between different users through the exchange of common view data. Supporting software enables device monitoring and the generation and storage of common view files. The MS4140 Beidou Common View Observer comes in a 2U rack-mountable chassis and houses a time and frequency mainboard, Beidou common view receiver, rubidium atomic clock, and power module.

Basic Functions:

1. Civilian code common view timing, with optional military code.

2. An internal rubidium clock provides high-precision timekeeping in the event of external time loss.

3. The front panel includes a display, indicators, and buttons, providing status indication and graphical display functions. It offers both local and remote operation and control capabilities.

4. It features timed processing and output of data results in CGGTTS and RINEX 3.0 formats.

5. It supports 1PPS and 10MHz external reference inputs, and features common-view second output for 10MHz frequency signals.

6. It supports traceability to national time and frequency centers, enabling remote regeneration of national standard time.

7. It supports common-view relay functionality, enabling high-precision time transmission over longer distances.

8. It supports user-friendly host computer software.

9. It features instant fault alarm and reporting, enabling remote and online monitoring of device operating status via the network.

10. It can exchange common-view comparison data via the network interface.

11. It supports dual AC power supplies.
