Iain, I have 'tried the magic' and it works. It is a DOS utility that is designed to work with HP SatStat or Symmetricom SatStat. Fire up your computer, then turn on your Z3816A, then run the utility. Then hit the Esc button on your keyboard. After that, run SatStat and it should find it just fine. You may have to open the port on SatStat but that should about be it.

The Z3816A is sending time by default and will not communicate till put in SCPI mode. You will need to try all baud rates to see where you can send the appropriate command . Check out http://www.realhamradio.com/gps-satstat-software.htm. There is a DOS utility that does the magic, though I have not tried it as I am not lucky enough to have the box. > > > Iain > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe, go to > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. > > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
