Hi:
To use an astronomical term "First Light" meaning my first use of the M12+T GPS Timing receiver. WOW!!!!
The manual description of the @@Hn command shows -128 to +127 ns as the range for the sawtooth error. On the 8 channel unit I think the actual sawtooth error was around + and - 50 ns.
I looked at the @@Hn data stream in TAC32 and saw numbers in the mid teens, much lower than the 8 chan sawtooth error. I'm not sure if this is typical, or maybe I was just lucky. I have the El mask set to 50 degrees and Time RAIM turned off.
I've made a small number of measurements against the Cesium source whose C field I haven't touched for a month or two and the standard deviation for 5,000 1 PPS measurements ranges from 14 to 27 ns, whereas the 8 channel unit was typically in the mid 30 ns range with excursions much higher.
So the way timing is being handled in the M12+T is far better than the old 8 channel units, i.e. it's not just more channels.
Having Fun,
