It consists of an AS210A-PM mainframe – a modified Tektronix TM506 or TM515 (portable) – with a power supply, Rubidium oscillator and custom wiring, and plug-ins:

AS210-01A Module Controller
AS210-02 Frequency Comparator
AS210-03 Frequency Generator
AS210-04 Digital Delay Generator
AS210-05 Standby Battery
AS210-06 Microwave Frequency Generator
AS210-08 Distribution Amplifier
AS210-20 Time Clock

The exact function of the system depends on the plug-ins used in the system.

The Argo Systems AS210 is included here because it uses Tektronix mainframes and plug-in enclosures.

Note: The AS210 plug-ins are not electrically compatible with standard Tektronix mainframe power supplies. Switching plug-ins between systems would most likely damage the plug-ins and/or mainframes.
