What component monitors timing triggers and causes the fault indicator lamp to illuminate on the interrogator control?

The Electronic Synchronizer SN-416/APX-76(V) is responsible for monitoring timing triggers and activating the fault indicator lamp on the interrogator control. This component plays a crucial role in ensuring that the timing of signals and responses within the system are synchronized correctly. If there is an issue or fault detected in the timing signals, the Electronic Synchronizer can signal this problem by illuminating the fault indicator lamp, alerting operators to potential malfunctions.

This function is vital for maintaining the reliability and accuracy of the interrogator system, ensuring that it can properly engage in its tasks, such as identifying friendly or hostile aircraft. By providing real-time monitoring and alerts regarding timing issues, the Electronic Synchronizer helps prevent miscommunication or errors during operations that could arise from timing discrepancies. This emphasis on timing and fault indication underscores the importance of this specific component in the overall system functionality.
