An update on this just in case anyone else interested....... I've confirmed that the Symmetricom CDU software for the Proteus GPS unit will run fine under Windows 7 on a 2009 HP dual-core laptop using a Prolific USB to RS232 convertor. There is no option to select baud rates etc in the CDU software, just the option to select the appropriate COM port between 1 and 4. The Proteus here did not start up displaying the current date, probably not helped by this one not being used for several years, but once the correct date was set via the software it updated correctly and maintained it for short power disconnections at least. The antenna socket does feed 12 Volts to the antenna, although the originally supplied volute style antenna is not particularly sensitive and would definitely require a good outdoor location. A more sensitive Symmetricom 1280 provided reasonable results for indoor testing. Regards Nigel GM8PZR
Hi all, I have the chance to buy a new boxed unit. Having glanced at the manual I understand that the configuration software runs under Windows 95 and uses a serial RS232 port. The only Windows box I have now runs Windows 10 and has USB only. So my questions are, can I run the config software under Windows 10 and will a USB to serial adaptor work with it? I will need to make a power supply for it as I think it requires 24 volts. That should be no problem. Any comments great fully received. Thanks in advance, Steve G0XAR _______________________________________________ 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.
