Hi Iain, Thanks very much for posting, and for sharing the code. I know many of us are interested in how well modern CPU's or SBC's can be used as time interval, time stamping, and frequency counting instruments. I know the BB PRU's have been mentioned before on the list but it's really nice to

Yes, Virginia, there are still a few bargains to be had in the world. After hacking together a power cord, letting it warm up for an hour or so, and going through the long power off procedure from the manual, the latest addition to my test equipment collection came to life. It arrived the other d

Hi Folks, As much as we all love our HP 5370B's, they are a tad expensive if you want to monitor several PPS sources long term to ensure they are all closely syncronised. In my case, I have three Austron 2100 LORAN receivers and a HP Z3816A GPS receiver. I wanted to be able to compare each of th

You are right. There is no "frequency set" command in WinOnCore, but you can simply type in $PRTHS,FRQD,0.01 and press return to send the command from the command window. That's what did. WinOncore let me see the unit status - satellite tracking etc as did VisualGPS and Tac32. In the CW12 Us

A "frequency set" command in WinOncore? The WinOncore was designed by Motorola for their receivers using their binary command set, it is very strange that this software can have a ConnorWinfield/Navsync proprietary command ($PRTHS,FRQD,[*optional_checksum]) to set the CW12 output frequency.
