[time-nuts] Z3801A trouble

[J. L. Trantham]

There are two different SatStat programs, one by HP and one by Symmetricom,
with Symmetricom being the later version.

I have a Z3816A and have had no problems with either program.

I have both programs and have uploaded them both to various places.  I can
send you both of them if you would like to try that approach.

I seem to remember you need a null modem cable or adapter for the Z3816A,
IIRC.  Might that be an issue for the Z3801A?  However, I doubt you would be
able to communicate at all if that were the case.

It has been years since I had to fool with setting up my Z3801A, so my
memory may be a bit fuzzy on things.

For a quick configuration, I installed SatStat on a laptop and hooked up a
serial cable to the Z3801A. After completing a survey, I have GPS lock
again. Although the UTC time is correct, the date shows as "31 May 1993".
What gives?
