The Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) is the core of instrumentation and data processing operations at NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida supporting KSC's space launch responsibilities. It centralizes the handling of the center's data including offices, laboratories and test stations; and houses general instrumentation activities serving more than one launch complex. The CIF also includes the Central Timing Facility, where a precision clock drives countdown clocks and other timing devices at KSC that require a high degree of accuracy.
