Was the LED on the PPS pin or on the FIX pin? The FIX pin is nothing like the PPS output. Frankly, I’m not 100% sure what the rules are for it. When things are working properly, it blinks at 0.5 Hz, but the leading and trailing edges are something like 120-150 msec after the second. It’s very, very loose. My own interpretation is that the controller flips the bit when it’s got nothing better to do.
I’ve not witnessed the actual PPS pin being toggled when GPS isn’t available, but it’s not a failure mode I’ve expended a lot of effort to examine. > On Dec 1, 2016, at 7:44 AM, David J Taylor <david-tay...@blueyonder.co.uk> > wrote: > > > Venus838LPX-T.
