[time-nuts] Any tutorial available for Lady Heather displays?

[Neil Schroeder]

It does not. Trust me.

I learned what little I know about this time stuff on a res t then an SMTX
and a thunderbolt - and found myself having  to learn all the concepts
elsewhere and even having to piece together how Trimble implements certain
things by observation.

Had i chosen the HP and Moto route it would have been a lot less painful
thanks to their documentation habits.
