Magnus,

Thanks for the research.  Now that I have read your information, I am going
to have to go back and 'measure' the PPS output on my unit.  I just
'eyeballed' the '1 PPS' and it seemed close to 1 second.

Good luck. Hopefully I put you onto a working solution.

It would be nice to find a serial command that would allow placing the 1 PPS
at any arbitrary point in phase to match GPS.

My impression of reading the posts about the FE-5680A is that the 1 PPS is
likely there, just not easily documented.

Well, being lazy enough not to go into the lab and open up my 5680 I went hunting the web and it seems like there was more out there than we seems to have been piecing together.

Seems like a bit of more systematic research needs to be done. There are obviously at least two basic models, one older with 50,255+ MHz oscillators and various add-on boards and secondly the 60 MHz + DDS variant. Reverse-engineering the schematics and functions has only partly been done, but I haven't seen any systematic schematic popping out of the work.

There is already plenty of information available, but it is not coordinated and systematically done to the level that most aspects can be written down in a service type of document.

Cheers,
Magnus
