Is your Oncore battery good? I think that the battery voltage measurement point is pin 1 and the ground reference is pin 3. Does your RS-232 cable have continuity end to end for at least pins 1, 2, 3 and 5? Does your Oncore receiver operate normally when using any other programs? The NTP Oncore reference clock driver talks a lot during startup. My last startup looked like this:

Try another program to see if it gets any other usable data to post on this site. I have also posted questions to the tapr.org timing group mailing list. There are a lot of Oncore users subscribed to that list.
