I just thought I'd try the Z38XX program, to see what it shows. Well, none of the graphic windows, nor the logging windows show anything at all. I used the Manual Command Entry to test each of the query strings. At this point, I didn't want to try commands that changed things. Below are the commands that worked. Many SCPI commands are not supported. You can't even change the serial baud rate, from what I can tell.
Unless someone already has a program for monitoring this unit, I'll have to write something that displays what information is reported, like number of sattelites. After I grab some dinner, I'm going to read the manual I downloaded. The unit did seem to lock fairly quickly. It does report the correct time, date and my position. The number of satellites tracked was the same as the Lucent, which also has an 8-sat GPS. *IDN? :PTIME:LEAP:ACC? :PTIME:UTC? :PTIME:TIME? :PTIME:DATE? :PTIME:TZONE? :PTIME:TCODE? :GPS:REF:ADEL? :GPS:POS:ACTUAL? :GPS:POS:SURV:STAT:POW? :GPS:POS? :GPS:POS:SURV:STATE? :GPS:SAT:TRAC? :GPS:SAT:TRAC:EMAN? :GPS:SAT:TRAC:IGN? :GPS:SAT:TRAC:INCL? :GPS:SAT:TRAC:COUNT? :GPS:SAT:VIS:PRED? :SYNC:FFOM? :SYNC:STAT? :SYST:ERR? - Reports "Undefined header" :SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO ON :SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO OFF Joe Gray W5JG _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
