I have an older version of this. GPS 16 LVS. I was using it with NTP and I wasn't watching it too closely. I don't even know if they are the same thing internally. I vaguely recall, with LVS, when lock is lost, PPS was gone, too.

Hi
Maybe if we keep the thread alive long enough *somebody* will measure a GPS 16 simply to get rid of us :)
What if you put an accurate clock on the micro that feeds the AND gate ( yes, the one we threw out last message).
Let it “flywheel” (= produce it’s own 1 ms accurate pulse) when the GPS goes away. Windows may have trouble
with 1 ms sort of stuff. Micros don’t have much trouble in that regard.
More or less “substitute” the output of an oscillator you know is good to << 1 ms over 15 minutes when you need it.

Basically, if there is a loss of lock I need to account for that. In my application, it doesn't matter if the GPS unit drops out of lock as I can re-schedule the timing event to a slightly later time when a valid fix is present. All that matters is that I have an accurate time-stamp. It doesn't matter if that time-stamp is re-scheduled for a minute or two later. However, if I know the drift of the 1 PPS output under invalid fix conditions I might not need to reschedule the timing event at all as long as the (tdrift/dt) * (how long the invalid fix has lasted) < 1 ms. The value of tdrift/dt is the key to implementing this.
