I have a couple of these boards and I have modified one to access the SCPI command port available on the 'Z-Pack' rear connector. The addition is simple but effective giving the TSIP front panel serial port plus the "cellular" serial port. Note that you will now have 2 separate connectors for the different control modes.
One obvious use for the SCPI port could be for NTPD. The NTBW50AA is lacking 1PPS but has a very accurate 2 Hz pulse ideal for NTPD. Unfortunately the :syst:stat? command is lacking in the firmware. If anyone in interested in the details I'll prepare a doc and share? --marki _______________________________________________ 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.
