[time-nuts] Datum Starrloc II

[lists at lazygranch.com]

I hope there are no top posting rules on the forum. 

Here is the manual.

I will pull the cover and look for markings on the gps later.

Sorry to  bug the list, but I don't see a way to search the archives.

I have a  Datum Starloc II. It seems to run under the Thunderbolt Monitor 
and Lady  Heather, but the oven temperature isn't sensed correctly. I can 
tell the  oven is working since it is warm. However, the temperature 
never varies  from 30 deg C. Lady Heather has better resolution than 
Thunberbolt  Monitor, and I can't believe the temperature isn't changing 
one  millidegree C.



---------------
Have you checked to see what GPS module it's using?
 
The Starlite stand alone PCB was supplied with both Motorola and  Furuno 
modules, possibly others too, and any Starloc II data I've  seen, admittedly 
only from Symmetricom, refers to that using the Motorola  M12, so it's 
interesting to hear this is responding as  though a Trimble module.
 
Although the serial communication is via the main PCB both the Starloc  and 
Starlite use plug on GPS modules, at least on those I'm aware of, and it's  
possible that the communication just doesn't include main board and/or oven 
 temperature data.
 
Have you found a manual for this?, I've had some Starlite modules for a  
while now but only found very basic data sheets and no manuals.
