Hello, Thank you for answer and sorry for delay. As I explained to another answer, purpose is simultaneous view of GPS satellites with the french official time laboratory LNE SYRTE . The corrections factors from the laboratory will enable to get with our high performance cesium about 5. 10-13 . Offset is for us without any utility. You spoke about Novatel boards ; can you please explain more.

To some degree, that is as much a function of the Z12T being in some sort of “round robin” comparison system as anything else. If that full offset information is part of what you need, that adds even more complexity to the request. A somewhat more modern approach than the Z12T would be one of the new(er) Novatel boards and a bit of custom code running on it. Even there the same problem(s) with calibrating an offset come up. Note that indeed you *can* get a time offset number from a simulator feeding the device. How good that number is (and how much you trust it) is very much a “that depends” sort of thing. Again - right back to the “what are you trying to do?” question.

Z12 documentation is available on multiple archived Ashtech web sites. Lots of conference / technical papers describing time transfer with Z12T receivers exist. AFAIK a number of national timing labs still use them. > > What is it you're trying to do? Do you own a Z12T and are just looking for spare parts? Or are you looking for modern time transfer via GPS / GNSS? If so, what level of timing accuracy are you looking for? Perhaps you could explain a bit more what your actual request is, or what timing infrastructure you already have running. > > /tvb > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "JF PICARD via time-nuts" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Cc: "JF PICARD" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2018 9:33 AM > Subject: [time-nuts] Ashtech Z12T > > >> Hello, >> I am looking for a time transfer system Ashtech Z12T or equivalent.
