Thanks all for the replies to my initial query as to whether anyone had any firsthand experience with this device. The replies have been helpful. It is also clear that what some see as an apple, others see as an orange. A simple common truth perhaps which becomes very obvious when comparing the

[time-nuts] LEA-6T Software.

2014-08-25 Thread Dan Kemppainen
Hi All, Just purchased a LEA-6T based board to play with (It's a Synergy Systems SSR-6Tru). The Ublox web site has some documentation regarding the setup of these units. In the documentation are some screenshots of what appears to be a utility for configuration. I haven't seen it on the Ublox web

Hi Dan, I think you're looking for the u-center software.  Finding software on that site can be difficult, so it's easier to resort to a websearch.  There's a link to the latest software on this page. http://www.u-blox.com/en/evaluation-tools-a-software/u-center/u-center.html As to the

I found the parameters for the X72's 1PPS input. The range of Tau is 5 - 10,000 seconds, or about 2 hrs, 45 min. at the longest setting. It defaults to 400 seconds. However, mine doesn't have the firmware to enable the 1PPS input, so it really doesn't matter. Out of curiosity, does anyone

A while ago I asked about dephasing WWVB. Since them I have tried many things and finally found one that works. I use my WWVB trf receiver with the squaring chip at its output. This gives me a dephased 120 KHz signal. In reading the Tracor manual about their MSK converter I discovered that

Hi There are some periodic errors in GPS that only get averaged in after a = 48 hour survey. It’s not so much a specific error level in meters as much as averaging in all the “issues”. Bob On Aug 23, 2014, at 7:38 PM, Bob Stewart b...@evoria.net wrote: I've had the LEA-6T sitting in

I have been offered what appears to be a Trimble GPSDO board. The model number is 46865-00-BM. From the photos, the board appears to be about the same size and layout as my NTBW50AA and includes a Trimble STP2254 10 MHz TCXO module, a USB port, and the same type of backplane connectors as the

Hi I’d say you have it figured out pretty well. It’s a TCXO based board for a “short holdover” cell site or something like that. There is a good chance that it’s got the same plusses and minuses as the GPSTM plus the degraded ADEV from the TCXO. Bob On Aug 25, 2014, at 5:04 PM, Bob
