>From my *memory* (the board is at home, I'm at work) the pinout sounds correct. I've just realised when I said the default is TAIP, that that is how mine were configured - but mine were surplus too. I get TAIP output (it's all 0s) from power up even before a lock. The 1PPS will only start after

Jim, I'm assuming the ACE II & ACE III are the same (that's what Trimble says), I have both PDF manuals and it's almost like they just did a find/replace to update the model number and leave everything else the same. The pin-outs are the same, just in the ACE II manual they point out Pin 1, in the

Actually, Tektronix have a rather large manual site too. They where ahead of HP eh... Agilent but Agilent have shaped up alot since. Agilent also indirectly take requests and they will also accept contributions if they are good enought scans. I know of at least two time-nuts contributions. Cheers,

I have some serial code under Linux that kind of works. Not extremely robust, but it is being used by the government on some NMD program, so it's got to be good enough :-) It is in C and the program runs in console mode. The code uses the serial port in half duplex mode, which should be fine f

Well I'm playing with the ACE III at the moment too. I have one driving my home built GPS based clock (I only use the 1 PPS in that) and I have another ACE III on the bench for fiddling and so I've been recently talking to it via its serial ports. The default mode is TAIP on port 1. The actual

Robust serial code is surprisingly non-trivial. Especially in Windows (don't know about Linux), it's on a par with dealing with network sockets. To begin with, I'd suggest using Google's code search to look for line-oriented serial communications code. I have some decent serial-port code, but it
