Title: Symmetricom Timesource 2500 / 2700 software
Post by: little.tesla on November 27, 2019, 06:48:42 pm

Hello,

does anybody have a copy of the software called "BTMon" (e.g., "BTMon_version_276.exe") and was available on the web in the past. But currently it dissapeared. I have a Timesource 2500 laying around and would like to play a bit with it.

Thanks in advance,
Dimce

While waiting for a reply, this sister post inspired me to take some pictures from its internals: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/symmetricom-timesource-2700-cdma-reference-clock-teardown/ (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/symmetricom-timesource-2700-cdma-reference-clock-teardown/)

The Time Source 2500 is almost idendtical to the TS2700 except for the GPS module and SRS rubidium oscillator.

The most interesting thing is that the GPS receiver is based on the MAX2740 Complete GPS Receiver with On-Chip Frequency Synthesizer.

All of the other HW peaces are identical to the TS2700 unit.
