I'm using GPSCon software on my Fury but I'm not clear as to the meaning of some of the terms which populate the Graph display? 1. At the top EFC graph (red), what do ad=0m and sd=0m mean? Is ad Allan Deviation? How do these numbers relate to the usual frequency scales we see of so many

Since the GPSCon software is not free, I suppose it must have a complete documentation and full support from the vendor. On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 2:01 PM, James Robbins jsrobb...@earthlink.netwrote: I'm using GPSCon software on my Fury but I'm not clear as to the meaning of some of the terms

[time-nuts] Z3805A Port 2.

2013-04-04 Thread Mark C. Stephens
I wanted to have a look at what the Z3805A puts out on Port 2. I can see the LEDS flickering on the BOB so its saying something. I connected up a terminal program set to 96008N1 and it seems there is nothing. So I plugged the cable into port one to check the settings: scpi syst:comm:ser2:pace?

Hi If it comes out every other second / 30 lines a minute, then indeed it's an even second message. That would be useful for lining things up in a CDMA base station. You might look and see if the 01 and 06 after the seconds correspond to anything obvious. The 06 might be sats in view. The 01

I've been playing around with the idea of using an Arduino UNO to read information out of my Thunderbolt GPSDO via the serial port rather than using a PC (99% of the time anyway). The idea here is to get the time and some status info to drive an LED display and some LEDs to show the time adjusted

Some kind of uP really is a good idea. But why use LEDS? Get a 2x16 LCD. They cost $6 and are much easier to drive with an Arduino. They can have scrolling text. Yes. you are getting binary data. You are going to need to red the manual. Or put the t-bolt into NEMA mode. On Thu, Apr 4,
