They use HP SmartClock (TM) to implement an Enhanced GPS receiver. The receiver accuracy when locked to GPS in normal operation is better than 1 usec. The accuracy when operating in holdover is typically better than 10 us per day. It receiver should be operated with factory default settings. Initial driver operation: expects the receiver to be already locked to GPS, configured and able to output timecode format 2 messages.</p> 229c2daa00SOllivier Robert <p>The driver uses the poll sequence <tt>:PTIME:TCODE?</tt> to get a response from the receiver. The receiver responds with a timecode string of ASCII printing characters, followed by a <cr><lf>, followed by a prompt string issued by the receiver, in the following format:</p> 23ea906c41SOllivier Robert <pre>T#yyyymmddhhmmssMFLRVcc<cr><lf>scpi ></pre> 24ea906c41SOllivier Robert The driver processes the response at the <cr> and <lf>, so what the driver sees is the prompt from the previous poll, followed by this timecode. The prompt from the current poll is (usually) left unread until the next poll. So (except on the very first poll) the driver sees this: 25ea906c41SOllivier Robert <pre>scpi >T#yyyymmddhhmmssMFLRVcc<cr><lf></pre> 26ea906c41SOllivier Robert <p>The T is the on-time character, at 980 msec. before the next 1PPS edge. The # is the timecode format type. We look for format 2. Without any of the CLK or PPS stuff, then, the receiver buffer timestamp at the <cr> is 24 characters later, which is about 25 msec. at 9600 bps, so the first approximation for fudge time1 is nominally -0.955 seconds. This number probably needs adjusting for each machine / OS type, so far: -0.955000 on an HP 9000 Model 712/80 HP-UX 9.05 -0.953175 on an HP 9000 Model 370 HP-UX 9.10</p> 27ea906c41SOllivier RobertThis driver will probably work with the 58503B and 59551A if they are setup appropriately.<P> 28ea906c41SOllivier RobertTo use an HP Z3801A, specify <tt>mode 1</tt> on the server config line to setup the right line paramters.<P> 29ea906c41SOllivier RobertThe timekeeping portion of HP's business has been sold to <a href="http://www.symmetricom.com/">Symmetricom</a>.<P> 309c2daa00SOllivier Robert <h4>Fudge Factors</h4> 319c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dl> 329c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>time1 <i>time</i></tt> 339c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction, with default 0.0. 349c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>time2 <i>time</i></tt> 359c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Not used by this driver. 369c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>stratum <i>number</i></tt> 379c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default 0. 389c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>refid <i>string</i></tt> 399c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Specifies the driver reference identifier, an ASCII string from one to four characters, with default <tt>GPS</tt>. 409c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>flag1 0 | 1</tt> 419c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Not used by this driver. 429c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>flag2 0 | 1</tt> 439c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Not used by this driver. 449c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>flag3 0 | 1</tt> 459c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Not used by this driver. 469c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dt><tt>flag4 0 | 1</tt> 479c2daa00SOllivier Robert <dd>Not used by this driver. 489c2daa00SOllivier Robert </dl> 499c2daa00SOllivier Robert <hr> 50ea906c41SOllivier Robert <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts/footer.txt"></script> 519c2daa00SOllivier Robert </body> 529c2daa00SOllivier Robert 539c2daa00SOllivier Robert</html> 54
