[time-nuts] Datum TS-2100 firmware updating

2010-06-28 Thread Julien Goodwin
As a first post I thought I'd share a success story.

After a lot of flailing about the magic combination to upgrade a TS-2100
from old/ROM firmware appears to be to ensure the line endings on the
file match that of the TFTP host. While it is twitchy about ethernet as
long as there's no contention it's probably fine.

Serial updates I just couldn't make work.

Up next is to convert the darn thing to Rubidium, like it was meant to
be when I purchased it (insert rant here).

Other toys are a TrueTime XL-DC and Trimble Palisade, along with a
TrueTime IRIG-B display.

Thanks,
Julien

There's a fair amount of info on the XL-DC on the web. I assume your 
problem is that it's not getting GPS lock?  Is it getting ANY GPS data? 
 (it can take quite a while if it doesn't know where it is and has no 
almanac data)

Hi,
 
Ok,  I have the info from the web but it is not too much.
I got GPS data but seems to me that the ECF is out of limit?  and the 
digital word is not changing...frozen but sometime very seldom it is locked 
properly after tickling a few hrs.then no luck for the next few weeks
I have the original active antenna with about 46dB gain and the GPS is OK but 
the digital control part has problem.

Rgds Ernie.

Check the on-board battery. It may not be up to spec.

Good luck on changing it ... True-Time could not have 
made it more difficult.
