It a windows (dos) program that will run under Wine. You can use it to completely manage a T-Bolt. It will also correctly initialize one. The Palisades driver has a bug that prevents correct set-up if you've managed to get it misconfigured. http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm. While message timing variability is much better than your typical GPS you should use the PPS output via the ATOM/PPS refclock. You'll probably get some advice to switch to simpler, more modern GPS rather than an aging GPSDO. They are a reasonable alternative if only for reduced power consumption but given a standard serial port a T-Bolt is plug and play. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
