Nigel, Your receiver will output 1PPS just fine. The "B" in the options list means that you have 1PPS, but you DON'T have TRAIM. If you had a TRAIM capable receiver the middle letter in the P/N would be "P". Those of you using some of the old 6 channel timing receivers as used in a lot of the old surplus HP/Symmetricom/Datum equipment will usually have a "B1121P1114" receiver installed. The 8 channel equivalent is the B4121P1114. Bear in mind that the 8 channel receivers will work in a 6 channel spot, but not the inverse. It is largely unknown that basically any VP receiver is capable of operating as a standard positioning receiver, precise timer with TRAIM, or with ALL the bells and whistles including carrier phase. The code inside all receivers with the same version firmware (8.4, 10.0, etc.) is capable of operating in any mode. When the receiver boots it looks at the Option List in the receiver ID to see which options are active. Motorola liked to pretend that the timing and carrier phase receivers were more expensive because of specialized code, but in fact this was not the case. The code was always there, but the receiver would not use it if the option was not present in the receiver ID. Sigh......... Nigel - the best thing for you to do at this point is to download an eval copy of TAC32 from Rick's website and let his software set up your receiver. It will set it up automatically to get the 1PPS running. Once you have convinced yourself that your receiver is working you can go back to WinOncore12. I think the problem with your 1PPS is that WinOncore12 does not recognize the old VP 1PPS commands. Randy ________________________________________________________________ There were some useful items there that I hadn't seen before, in particular the VP firmware history......... but now I'm totally confused:-) That firmware history refers to firmware version 8v4 being fitted to models Bxxxxxxxxx4 and, sure enough, my firmware is 8v4. 8v4 is supposed to have updates for the Time RAIM option so I would have expected that to imply my unit did have the 1PPS option after all, but it resolutely ignores any of the relevant commands either via the WinOncore command window or the menu options for time setting. It will alow me to sellect the option that turns on 1PPS but the module ignores the command and doesn't seem to reply. Maybe I'll give up on the QEX simple GPS standard and just build a clock:-) regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
