[time-nuts] Lucent KS-24361 GPS Time vs. UTC

Thanks for the reply. 

I tried all the ports, the only port that allows me to communicate at all with the unit is the J8 Diagnostic port on Ref 0. I also noticed that when I send the command to change to UTC time, the units go into FAULT mode and it takes about 5 minutes to relock the GPS.

Hi

Which port are you putting the commands into? 

The box *may* respond to some things on the Diag port that it does not respond to on the PPS port. I have not investigated this, but it is a possibility.

The time I'm getting out of the unit is the GPS time (+16 seconds). I've tried to convert the time to UTC by first changing the mode from continuous output to a manual time update(:PTIM:TCOD:CONT 0), and then changing the time to UTC from GPS using the :PTIM:UTC 1 command. Neither of these commands seem to work with this unit.
