Anyway, using a Dallas/Maxim DS1023-100 delay line (and a microprocessor,
of course) you read the @@Hn data from the iLotus M12M and apply the
correction to the delay line. Of course the delay line cannot anticipate
the PPS, so that you have to set a "zero" at the center of the delay line
total span. This fixed delay can, in turn, be nulled out using the M12M
capability to displace its PPS with respect to the UTC. Please, read the
M12M user manual and the DS1023-100 datasheet
