Re: [time-nuts] [No sat positions in LH with Trimble NTBW50AA? SOLVED!
Gents: I really enjoy reading the postings from this group. It’s like going back to school sometimes. I am a longtime user of Lady Heather with a Trimble Thunderbolt and recently updated the program to V5.00. For some unknown reason I am not receiving time or sat location info. LH does appear to be talking to the Thunderbolt since some of the info is in white letters. I have tried lots of commands with no joy. Computer is the same laptop I have always used running Win. 7. I have tried a second Thunderbolt and a second antenna — still no luck — since it looked like the GPS receiver portion of the GPSDO isn’t working. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an “OM” with emphasis on the “O.” Here is my setup: http://www.braddye.com/gps_do.html 73 Brad Dye, K9IQY ex KN9IQY, KN4BK, KM5NK, WB4JCF, ZP5TQ, WA4VXU, WA9RVL, HH2FJ /TI2, /9Y4, /6Y5, /KP4 60 years as a licensed amateur radio operator 43 years since licensed as a First Class Commercial radio operator/engineer ___ 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] No sat positions in LH with Trimble NTBW50AA? SOLVED!
Originally I set the BAUD rate to 19200 with 7 bits and ODD parity because that is what the manual said. I confirmed these settings using an oscilloscope. With that, LH mostly worked. After some of the suggestions here I tried this; "C:\Program Files (x86)\Heather\heather.exe" /3 /br=9600:8::1 /rxt /gb /tz=-5EST/-4DST /vx This worked perfectly. It is the BAUD rate that threw me. I have a lot of experience with ASYNC going back to the days of the ASR33 and ASR35. I know that some systems were auto-BAUD but the manual does not mention that, I assumed that it was fixed at 19200 which actually did work. One curious thing that I noticed; previously the clocks differed by about 18 seconds between my Resolution T and my NTBW50AA. The NTBW50AA agreed with my Win10 machine setup as Microsoft installed it. With the NTBW50AA in Thunderbolt mode, the Res T and the NTBW50AA both agree. Now, only Win10 is out by about 18 seconds. Anyway, thanks for all the help, Pete. On 1/5/2017 12:41 PM, Mark Sims wrote: The Nortel devices can talk either as a Thunderbolt or as a SCPI device. Use it as a Thunderbolt (/rxt). In SCPI mode the satellite positions are polled for once a minute (at xx:xx:33). Thunderbolt mode provides much more and better control of the receiver. --- I just got my Trimble NTBW50AA GPSDO up and running with Lady Heather 5.0. However I don't see any satellite data as I do with my Resolution T.
