[time-nuts] Datum Starrloc II

[Robert Atkinson]

I'd suggest that the unit does not have a temeperature sensor but the firmware reports 30 deg C to maintain compatibility with units (T-Bolt?) that do.

Page 27  of the manual indicates the temperature sensor is fixed at 30 
deg C. I'm  not sure what exactly it means to have a sensor at a fixed 
temperature. I  could see the setting being fixed, but not the sensor  
itself.

Temperature Sensor
¨ STARLOC II – Value fixed at 30  oC



-----------------
That manual section does refer to the software so could be just meaning the 
displayed value but as you're seeing the same in LH etc I assume that is 
what's  being reported by the Starloc.
I can't see that the sensor itself could be "fixed" either, assuming  one 
is actually fitted, but suspect the firmware is just preloading  that value 
into a register or memory location and it doesn't get updated for  whatever 
reason.

At least you know that what you're seing is as expected.

I don't recognise your GPS numbers but, as commented earlier, some versions 
of the starloc at least use the M12.

The Starloc 2 look to be a nice unit.
