--- GPS position data
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for Timetech Reference Generator
The Unit sends Module Status Message (starting with %DM) and Unit Status Message (%0) every 10 seconds. Therefore one GET procudure catches all inputs.
The driver was tested with the following model:
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- GPS position data --- The faults page. --- The device info page. --- The maintenance page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| readBackDelay | Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances. |
| freqSource | Defines the used frequency source. |
Remote Control
TCP Port 2000 Please set the TCP connection timeout to > 10sec (successfully tested with 15sec) to avoid read timeouts. Unit configuration
Please set ECHO=0 in units saterm.ini. This disables the echo of commands. Attention
The network interface seems to be unstable under rare circumstances and the unit may crash. Recommendation: Use the serial interface instead.
