[time-nuts] TS-2100 gps receiver setup question

[Howard Davidson]

I bought a Datum Symmetricom TS2100 on e-bay. I've updated the firmware 
to 4.1. It did not have a gps module. After looking on time-nuts it 
appears that it wants a Trimble module.

It will talk to a Resolution-T I had on hand. I can retrieve the 
firmware version, signal strengths, and satellites being tracked. The 
TS2100 does not appear to collect the time or the position from the 
receiver. Otherwise the TS2100 appears to function.

I have run the receiver bare under Trimble Studio, and it appears to 
work correctly. It finds satellites, can do a self survey, outputs 1 
PPS,position, mode, etc. I suspect hat there is some setup variable I 
need to change in the GPS receiver to let the TS2100 read the 
appropriate messages. When I ask the TS2100 for position or time I 
always get "GPS receiver busy". I have set the self survey down to 50 
fixes, and have allowed adequate time for that to complete. I have also 
tried the receiver in PVT mode. Anyone have an idea of what to do?

Thanks,

hld
