3.3.6 TIMEMARK default)/ RESET option)
his pin default is provides 1 pulse per second output from the GR-87 engine
board, which is synchronized to within 1 microsecond of GPS time. he output
is a CMOS 3V positive level signal. Only upon a situation of tracking or
navigating will output once per second. his is not available in rickle-Power
mode。
he secondary option function is provides an active-low reset input to the
engine board. It causes the engine board to reset and start searching for
satellites. ( his second function setting need contact factory)。
