The 476MHz Master Oscillator (MO) provides an RF signal to the timing system. This signal is combined with a 360Hz signal derived from the a sequencer chassis (i.e. derives a 360Hz signal coincident with the zero crossings from the 3-phase AC power line). The 476MHz and the 360Hz signals are routed to the inputs of the VME-based Master Trigger Generator (VMTG). The VMTG output is thus synchronized with the MO 476MHz --via a 71kHz RF signal-- and it triggers the fiducial generator at 360Hz. The 360Hz output of the fiducial generator is amplitude-modulated onto the original 476MHz signal (hence 2.78ms between peaks and with a 476MHz frequency) and is propagated down the Main Drive Line (MDL).
