Probably best to just pop it open and see what’s inside. Unless you get very lucky, the fiber optic cables, connectors, and transmitter / receivers will be tough to find.
Thanks Bob, Jim, Chris, David for your answers. Well, I have already a few timing resources, like a Thunderbolt, a Z3801A, a home-designed GPSDO based on an AVR Atmel + a Motorola VP Oncore and an Isotemp OCXO, not to mention a Trimble Resolution T board, waiting to be used in a future GPSDO that will make use of a double oven 10811 (yes, I found one of those). So I agree that the best use I can make of that Navstar "mushroom" unit is to pry it open, and try to find the electrical signals before they are converted to optical... at least now, thanks to David, I know what the supply voltage of the beast is... then, with the aid of a logical states analyzer, maybe some reverse engineering of the data stream could be done.... perhaps... :-) TNX Alberto --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com _______________________________________________ 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.
