OK so I have the NGOCOMM program for the E1938A. I see looking at the DLLs it was written in Borland OWL. Does anyone have the C++ source code, or know what is in it , and also does anyone know exactly what is in the E2PROM? all this for extending the MAINTAINABLE life of these excellent

Hi The gotcha with averaging multiple GPS modules is that there are a lot of common mode issues present. The averaging will help with the random noise stuff, but will not do much for the atmosphere, ephemeris, and other “external” limits. Unfortunately those limits are pretty significant

OK, good info, thanks. Well I have bought 7 x E1938As, with the intention of building a better GPSDO. My interest in the E1938A firmware hex was if I had to replace any of the PICs at sometime in the future. My intention is to use the average of multiple stationary mode GPS 1PPS signals

I would agree that antiwindup is important when you have integrators. They always seem to cause trouble without it, in applications as diverse as car throttle control and time-domain filtering of respiratory data. I would also recommend, sometimes, the use of feed-forward control to provide an

Hi Rick Thank you very much for the reply and the suggested leads. I think your work on the balanced bridge oscillator was both preeminant and seminal . I have read all the papers on it, and there are few other things in my 30 years of this field professionally that really impress me as much
