I could not figure if the Resolution-T (or Mini-T) provides carrier phase data. I would guess not. The manual with TSIP commands is at: http://www.trimble.com/tmg_resolutiont_ts.asp Looks like it reports code phase in units of 1/16 chip. What were your plans if it had carrier phase? I do

As Seconds are a fundamental unit of the SI system, shouldn't the S be upper case? SI units named after famous dead guys are capitalized (cf Farad (F), Hertz (Hz), etc). SI units that are something else aren't (cf meter (m), liter (l) and gram (g)). Warner
