[time-nuts] Tbolt monitor software

Fri Jan 23 00:50:21 UTC 2009

Hi Didier and others,

Thanks for the feedback.

Others Thunderbolt owners may want to check there soldering also. Prior
to this error I has not opened the unit, did not see a need, although my
symptom did not pop it's head up at first, to took some 4-5 months to
manifest.

As previously mentioned, it's now running perfect, but it required me to
completely remove the MAX232, clean all pins and reflow.

Regards

Gerald

I had the same problem here, and as it has been indicated, in my case it
was also the unidirectional connection (commands from the PC never made
it to the TB, so some data that is not automatically put out never got
to the PC).
I had a bad pin on the serial port connector.

Check your wiring and signal levels, from the PC to the TB.

Hi,

Yes, I can see alarm status and changes when unplugging antenna etc.

As mentioned the unit actually works, just no data certain displayed.

Did you select the right comm port? I power mine off a lot and it has
always come back.

Hi group,

A strange situation has led me to ask a question about the Tbolt GPSDO
and the Trimble Thunderbolt monitor s/w version 2.6.

While re-arrangement of the shack, it's been idle for 3 weeks, Tbolt
turned off. After turning the unit on and letting it settle some 2 hour,
I connected the monitor program and found the following that I can not
explain and correct:-

*   All SV and AMU have question marks
*   Product info has questions marks
*   the ability to see tracking status is blank.

When last used, some 2 months ago to show a friend, the relevant display
data came up, no issues. Further more, position, critical and minor
alarms are green, disciplining status section such as DAC voltage DAC
value mode and even it's 10MHz out etc etc is fine compared to my trusty
Rubidium standard.

Has any one seen this before and is there a setting that may have
inhibited this feature?

I have a screen shot, however it may be to large to attach, so let me
know if this will help, I will be glad to forward it to some one with
much more knowledge.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Gerald
