It would seem that the hunt for 1PPS will need to be attempted by someone with two units coupled together. I don't know if there's some sort of handshake enablement but with just the Ref-1 unit I've not been able so far to find 1PPS on the Interface connector, either during the boot up sequence or when up and running. The 1PPS on pin 6 of the RS422/1PPS connector is very easy to spot so I don't think it's just a case of me missing it on the interface.

Hi I bet (again the order of fries) that the ground on pin 13 that crosses to is some sort of “other box plugged in” indicator. So: The 15 pin cable is: Pair End A End B A 1 9 B 2 10 C 3 11 (short pin on 3) D 4 12 E 5 13 (short pin on 13) F 6 14 G 7 15 ground 8 8 (short pin on 8) Pair B - CMOS signaling Pair C - CMOS signaling Pari D - one half of RS-422 Pair E - CMOS signal ? ground on pin 13 We have A, F, and G in the “to be discovered” category. One of those should be the other half of D. Something in here should be a PPS.
