Re: [time-nuts] Navsymm Proteus GPS CDU Software (Brendan Giles)
I was the project manager for this piece of equipment. I have a copy of the CDU program. I have recently run it on a Windows 10 system. Let me know where to send you a copy.

Re: [time-nuts] Navsymm Proteus GPS CDU Software
Hi Thomas, If you haven't already seen them I made a couple of posts regarding this unit last November in response to a similar question, and these might help with running the software etc. I've uploaded a file containing the manual and software to Mega.nz .. https://mega.nz/#!eVggzQDD!BD76z_UMLGtjhJmvO-APeW-A7bMIVEY7oZUI389IEAE A bit of a messy link but they encrypt all downloads as a matter of course and that includes the key, any problems please let me know and I can send it direct but decided to post it here in case others are interested. If someone could upload this to Didier's manual site that would be appreciated, I've had a few problems again recently with attempted uploads from here. Regards Nigel GM8PZR Hello Time-Nuts, I have recently come into possession of a Navsymm Proteus GPS Time and Frequency Generator. Also known under Navstar Systems. There have been various postings about this piece of kit, in some of which there was a mention of the CDU software which allows to configure it. The thing powers up but does not lock on. The manual says this could be the case if it was moved since last locked and it may need configuring. To cut a long story short, does anybody have the CDU software and could it be “shared”? It seems to need an old-style PC but that won’t be a problem around here. I will meanwhile check if any sense can be made of its outputs, in case there is some hardware problem. Thanks in advance, Thomas. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] Navsymm Proteus
Hi Graham, That link isn't fitted here either, and I don't know its intended purpose, but most of the adjacent component locations aren't populated either so I suspect that on my unit at least there's a fair chance it's not part of the active circuitry, although it is difficult to be sure. I don't generally record time from my GPS kit but adding and/or removing that link whilst the unit is running and locked doesn't show any obvious effect on frequency plotted against time, nor does it seem to affect the deviation. Regards Nigel GM8PZR -- Does anyone know the purpose of the jumper to the left of the three power supply jumpers. I have one receiver which does a periodic lurch of its time deviation, but when I fitted a jumper it apparently stopped. Was this a coincidence?

[time-nuts] NavSymm Proteus GPS-DO/Receiver
Can anyone help with a NavSymm Proteus GPS-DO Receiver (Type A188-001G6)? I've discovered Navsymm was bought by Symmetricom, but I've not yet found any docs on the Symmetricom site for this old product. The unit I have seemingly works OK: good 10MHz, 2.048 MHz, PPS, sensible time string at 9600n81 on serial TIME output, IRIG-B, outputs, green status light, et al. But I can't get it to talk me on the PC serial port. I'm not even sure what it is expecting on the serial port, but my efforts to tickle it into responding haven't been successful. Cheers, -- Christopher. ___ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
