OMICRON CMGPS 588 GPS

The Omicron CMGPS 588 GPS synchronisation unit is an antenna-integrated, GPS-controlled time reference optimised for outdoor usage. It works as a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Grandmaster Clock and does not require configuration work. It is automatically ready for operation quickly after providing a power supply via Power over Ethernet (PoE). The distance between the CMGPS 588 and the CMC can be extended up to 95 m (312 ft) using extension cables.

• Precision Time Protocol (PTP) grandmaster clock — The Omicron CMGPS 588 GPS can act as a PTP grandmaster clock, providing a highly accurate and reliable timing source for your test system. This ensures that all devices in the system are synchronised, which is critical for exact measurements.
• User-friendly setup — The CMGPS 588 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for a separate power supply and minimising cabling. You can get started quickly, even without extensive GPS time synchronisation experience.
• Advanced GPS receiver — The Omicron CMGPS 588 GPS is equipped with a 12-channel GPS receiver that operates on the 1575.42 MHz frequency in the L1 band. This ensures it can receive GPS signals even in challenging environments.
• Vibration and shock resistance — The Omicron CMGPS 588 is compliant with IEC standards for vibration and shock resistance. This means it can withstand the rigours of transportation and use in industrial environments.
• Flexible placement — You may extend the distance between the CMGPS 588 and the CMC (communication module) up to 95 metres (312 feet) using extension cables. This allows you to optimally position the Omicron CMGPS 588 for GPS signal reception, regardless of your test equipment setup.
