[time-nuts] NavSymm Proteus Rollover Issue

[Thomas Allgeier]

Hello All,

Following recent posts I fired up my NavSymm / Symmetricom Proteus GPSDO 
to see how it copes with the week number rollover. Sure enough it is 
confused: Satellite receiption is fine and the XO locks to GPS but it 
thinks today is the 25th of August 1999, week number 1024. The firmware 
version is 1.3b if this means anything to somebody.

So, as a frequency standard (which is what I use it for) it still works, 
but the date info on the serial port is useless, as is the Arduino 
module I built to display date and time on the front panel...

The problem is compounded by the fact that there is a bug in the PC 
software (CDU version 1.1B) which is used to configure the unit. It 
looks like there is a way to send the correct date to the box but the 
Initialisation tab from which this is done makes the software crash 
(runtime error). This has always been like that, it has nothing to do 
with the rollover - so far this didn't bother me since there was no need 
to use this tab.

Anyway, is anybody else keeping one of these timing units alive, and is 
there a fix for the rollover issue on it?

Thanks,

Thomas.
