Hi Rex,

I was hoping since the rubidium module had a light for GPS and an input for
the GPS that it also did the same thing.

That is too bad, but that proves it all right.
I tried to feed a 1pps signal into the interface pin 9 to see what would
happen, but the NO GPS light never went off and it didn't pull the frequency
at all.
So far I've done a 4 hour run between the Rb and GPS and counted
139390000010 Rb cycles to 13939 GPS 1pps pulses or 10000000.0007174 Hz for
the Rb.
Thanks,
Alan
