[ntp:questions] GPS Trimble Acutime Gold - USB Interface
I have a Trimble Acutime Gold GPS[1] and I got some problems installing that device in both FreeBSD and Linux. That GPS has an USB Interface with FTDI support. FreeBSD configuration: 1) kldload uftdi 2) dmesg: ucom0: FTDI Dual RS232, class 0/0, rev 2.00/5.00, addr 2 on uhub3 ucom1: FTDI Dual RS232, class 0/0, rev 2.00/5.00, addr 2 on uhub3 3) ln -s /dev/cuaU0 /dev/palisade0 (I tried cuaU1 with no success) 4) ntpd.conf configured without event polling [2]: # The Primary reference server 127.127.29.0 # Trimble Palisade GPS. # Set packet delay fudge 127.127.29.0 time1 0.020 # and set flag2 to turn off event polling. fudge 127.127.29.0 flag2 1 First problem: For some reason event polling (fudge options commented) does not work. The GPS turn unreachable. Second problem: My GPS is a falseticker: $ ntpq -np remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter == x127.127.29.0.GPS.0 l3 16 3770.000 -45.446 21.072 *192.168.193.5 .GPS.1 u 50 6434.849 110.134 7.145 192.168.192.61 192.168.193.52 u 48 6436.084 110.903 9.221 +192.168.254.229 192.168.0.42 2 u 49 643 11.550 110.253 7.524 I appreciate any help.

Re: [ntp:questions] GPS Trimble Acutime Gold - USB Interface
Hi Harlan, Trimble native serial GPS was discontinued. I just received the device without opportunity to choise other. Yes, I have seen the support page about Trimble/Palisade but I could not find any thing to justify the reported problems. offset now ~ 150ms :( Thanks, Pedro On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Harlan Stenn st...@ntp.org wrote: Pedro, First, USB serial devices generally have a *lot* of jitter on them.
