[time-nuts] Looking For Info On A Kode/Odetics 375-642TimeDisplayUnit

[Jason Rabel]

That's okay, I just thought someone out there might have known off the top
of their head, it's not a big deal.

There is I believe a 2MHz oscillator there next to the switches, that's why
I thought maybe it could free-run.

I haven't probed those E1,E2, and E3 pads next to the switch yet, I'll
probably do that tomorrow.

I didn't expect a lot from this display, I just wanted something nice and
bright that I could look up and see the time. ;) The tiny little LCD on my
TrueTime can't really be read from a distance.

Most of these type of display rely on an input code, as they don't have an
internal oscillator. As I mentioned in my previous post to Jason, they are
probably code selection switches for IRIG A, B, NASA (36?). Alternatively
they may give the unit the ability to read modulated or un-modulated Time
Code inputs. I worked for Odetics/Zyfer, but the display products were being
obsoleted at about the time I joined. I may have an Odetics catalogue
lurking around in a box somewhere which may shed some light, but I don't
have any manuals for this product line.
