Hi Paul, There are a couple of problems here. First of all is that the SynTac software is not free, and I have no interest in trying to get around their trial period scheme, nor any interest in buying a copy just to sit and watch it run. =) Next is that I don't really want to deal with a Windows solution. I've got a Windows image on VirtualBox, but my serial port is used up for lirc on the "big" machine. I wound up swapping the windows drive back into my old laptop to set the UT+ into timing mode.
OTOH, I did run across the source code for the NTP oncore interface. I can use that and write a simple "C" program to change modes or whatever in the future. It should be easy enough to write software to check that the UT+ is alive and tracking. I'm going to have to get another serial port, though - or perhaps just a USB to serial converter. Having a GPSDO is starting to feel like I have several clocks to manage. =) In my naivete I thought it would be just plug and go.
