Chapter 3 – Receiver Description
Motorola GPS Products - Oncore User’s Guide
The computed time is relative to UTC or GPS time depending on the time type as
specified by the user by the Time Mode.
The Oncore system timing is designed to slip time when necessary in discrete one
millisecond intervals so that the receiver local time corresponds closely to the
measurement epoch offset. The Oncore observes the error between actual receiver
local time and the desired measurement epoch offset and then slips the appropriate
integer milliseconds to place the measurement epoch to the correct integer
millisecond. When a time skew occurs (such as after initial acquisition or to keep
time within limits due to local oscillator drift), the receiver lengthens or shortens the
next processing period in discrete one millisecond steps.
The rising edge of the 1PPS signal is the time reference. The falling edge will occur
approximately 200 ms (+/-1 ms) after the rising edge. The falling edge should not be
used for accurate time keeping.
