I see the Trimble Resolution SMT Timing GPS OEM board 66974-35 on a
well-known auction site from a weel-know seller fluke.i, at quite a
good price, and free UK post. Is it any good - as good it seems to be.
Any experience?
Just to report back that I eventually got round to powering up one of
Well, the connector is a standard connector... it's just 2mm/0.070 spacing.
I would not trust a dropping resistor. The current consumption on these units
does not appear to be constant... the temperature plot varies depending upon
what it is doing (i.e. gets warmer when acquiring
I don't know what firmware version is in the units fluke.l is selling but after
reading a technical bulletin regarding the Resolution T, I wonder if the SMT
version is susceptible to the same signal tracking outage every 12.5 minutes
bug that the Resolution T firmware previous to 1.17
OK, I see that indeed there are different views: in my opinion, for
example, it is good that the unit doesn't talk by itself. I prefer to
prepare the environment then command the unit to start talk or poll the
unit on a cyclic base. I found a Trimble monitor here:

Think Galileo, Waas, Glonass, and gps could give you more than 38 sats, over
determination will give better results and much faster cold starts without
almanac and assist. Waas helps a lot when you run on a Uav
I uploaded the FEI-Zyfer WAAS papers to zippyshare if anyone is interested.

Zyfer produced a paper on WAAS for timing.

One nasty thing about these receivers is that they seem to be useless as a
general purpose GPS receiver. Once they have a saved position (even if you
erase the old one) it does not update the lat/lon/alt values (even if you put
the receiver into 3D mode). It does not even update
As a GPS receiver (12 channel), it seems to be quite good. It is at least
6dB more sensitive than the Thunderbolt.
You can also program the PPS output for PP2S (pulse per 2 seconds)

Hi Holrum,
how do you re-configure the SMT unit? Using Trimble GPS studio?
Thanks,

Ok,
I figured out that the unit fluke.l sells is running firmware to emulate
the Motrola M12+ receiver or similar. So WinOncore 12 does work, and I can
get the following receiver ID:

The receivers from fluke.l are the TEP version that emulates Motorola protocols
by default. I used Trimble GPS Monitor V1.05 to set it for TSIP.
Select the Initialize Menu, Detect Receiver, click TEP protocol button. It
then found the receiver and offered to enable it for TSIP. Then
What's bad with the Motorola binary protocol? In my opinion it is superior
to the NMEA one...

The first problem is, I didn't even know that was the command set the unit
had, the @@Cf looked familiar though. I wasted an hour trying to get the
Trimble application to work, until I tried WinOncore12 and the unit
responded.
Can't use TeraTerm to send commands, and the user manual
There is the problem: I used the Trimble GPS Studio application that was
posted here yesterday, that does not support the TEP protocol.. Will try with
GPS Monitor..
Is the TrimbleMon available somewhere safe on the web? Can't seem to find
it with Google.
I got it working with Oncore12,

I got a couple of these in and cannot get them to talk. There are two pins on
the connector that are labeled reserved and no-connect. The no-conect pin has
a trace going to (at least) a cap. Perhaps there is an enable pin? Has
anybody got these to work?
