Did Spectracom Ageless Master Oscillator made it into the main code? You spent so much time helping me but I don't see it in list of supported GPSDO. It's been working well. Thank you.
Few days ago, I bought a stack of Nortel GPSTM. Apparently, what I bought is different from what I already have..... I have Trimble OEM version that works well with LH. What I bought is; however, bears same model number but is made by Symmetricom. GPS chip is Furuno GT-8031F. LH's auto-discovery cannot see it. Trying to connect to it via putty, at 19200,8,n,1, I can get *something* but garbled. Has anyone successfully interfaced this version with LH or even a terminal emulator?
CORRECTION> using 19.2K 7,O,1, I got a prompt "E-113>" I still can't talk to it as anything I type is met with repeat of the prompt.
Specified such in command line to start LH. It is not finding the receiver. Behavior is quite different from Trimble version. Perhaps this is not supported.... (yet)
I've used a terminal emulator to talk to this GPSDO. If you're getting the E-113 message that means you are talking to the unit and it is telling you there is an error message and you can't continue unless the error message is cleared. Get to where you have the E-113 error message displayed and type
*CLS <enter key> to clear the error and the prompt should now say SCSI> . Any time you screw up and the unit displays the error message, you must clear it again to continue.
Type
*IDN? <enter> and the unit should return the ID number and also return to SCSI>, waiting for the next command. Try some of the following commands.
:GPS:POS?
:DIAG:LOG:READ:ALL?
:DIAG:LIFEtime:COUNt? (lower case letters and first : are optional)
:SYSTem:STATus? (gives satellite count/tracking, lots of info)
These are like some of the commands for the Lucent KS-24361 GPSDO. some are specific to that unit but if you can find the list, it is a good starting point.
Thank you!
That got me going. Looks like E-113 was there because I powered it up before connecting antenna. It is now tracking 8 with valid PPS. So it's all good.
Do you mind communicating with me via email? I don't really want to clutter up this thread. Mine is tkamiya9<at>yahoo.com
Hi,
I have a GPSDO from ebay. (see the attached picture)
Inside is a Trimble 57693-D module.
It is supported by Lady Heather (v6.14) ?
It is not detected automatically.
I'm not able to find the correct command line parameters for Lady Heather.
Please help
Thank you
This tool is fantastic. How do devices get added. I see the Jackson Labs Fury GPSDO is not on the list. I would be interested in helping get it there. How can I help?

Hi!
I connected my BG7TBL GPSDO to a PC running FreeBSD as NTP server. I use GPSd and so it's possible to use Lady Heather (6.14) monitoring together with serving time. Unfortunately, I don't see the elevation and azimuth of nearly each satellite.
When I use xgps or gpsmon software at the same time, I can see the data is there.
Would you consider adding an ability to read environmental temperature? Not the device temp but the lab itself. That would be very nice, me thinks?

Heather already has support for reading a couple of different environmental sensors (temp, humidity, pressure). The sensor can be either the main input device (receiver) or an auxiliary input device. I use the USB sensor from dogratian.com
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/environmental-sensor-recommendations/
I went ahead and purchased USB-PA. At $30, it's pretty reasonable. Thanks for the tip!

Does the USB-PA also do temp and humidity? The specs seem to indicate so but the description makes it uncertain.
OT: there is a USB PA Crazy Radio, which I assume is a wireless USB interface but its not clear what you use it for? Coincidentally $30.

It has a BME280 sensor on it. Does temp, humidity, air pressure.
I have been using LH with PRS10.
Today, I was looking at status flags, ST1 to ST6. On LH, these values are expressed in 0x00 format. Can I get this in bit map format? This is really is not a big deal but those bytes are bit mapped. It'll be a bit easier if it's in 0000 0000 format.
Thanks!
The subject says it all ;-)
IE Toolchain, libraries etc
I'd like to apply a few tweaks for myself.
Best regards

I use Visual Studio 2005 under Windows XP.
Note that the makefile for Windows (in the ke5fx.com intsllation) is different than the Linux version. The heath*.c* files are the same for all OS versions.
Mark,
Here's an odd-ball request - any chance you could sweet talk your lady friend into supporting the Meade RCX-400 telescope?
There's no way to send commands directly to the GPS unit (unfortunately), but the telescope will accept a command on the serial port that will redirect the GPS NMEA output to the serial port until the next character is sent to the serial port:
:gpx# serial command.. returns continuous GPS sentences until another
serial character is received.
Sentences are prefixed with "$" and postfixed with x0D (return)
for direct compatibility with VisualGPS and the like.
Cheers

Is it possible to use a Trimble 4000 with Lady Heather ?
It has RS232 output.
Does anyone know how to get the DogRatlan's USB-PA to say work with lady heather and a Trimble Thunderbolt or even another ublox GPSDO? Is there a command or commandline command you have to add for the additional USB interface the USB-PA is running on?
Bill
You need to add "-en=?", where ? is the COM port number of your USB-PA temp sensor, to your Lady Heather command line in the shortcut.
There is also a mode where the temp sensor is the main input device (/?? /rxen (where ?? is the com port info)). In this mode you can also use the /en=?? command to access a second temperature sensor.
I am doing a median survey with LH and T-bolt. I can't find a command to save to disk or save to device. HELP!
I can issue this save command after it's done, right??
The results should automatically be saved to the Tbolt when the survey completes. The survey data is also written to a file while it is running. I am away at the moment and don' remember the file name used... I think it ends with .lla
