[time-nuts] Am I doing something wrong?

[gandalfg8 at aol.com]

Something certainly seems a bit odd here.
The LH plot shows the device reporting itself as a Nortel NTGS/NTBW, even though also indicating a Tbolt log file,  so if it really is a Thunderbolt are you forcing it at start up to run as a Nortel unit?
It's also showing zero DAC voltage and that's not good either.
With something like the Thunderbolt you should be able to run LH with the default config file, perhaps forcing a com port or designating a time zone so there shouldn't really be much setting up required.
Perhaps worth running a fresh install of LH, and although perhaps not strictly necessary you could update LH to version 6....

HI All,

I am wondering if I have set up my Trimble Thunderbolt wrong.

I have corrected for roll-over and everything looks good in Lady Heather 
but the Thunderbolt stays in Power-up mode according to Lady Heather, 
and is always "doing fixes" even though I have entered the lat and lon 
for a fixed location.

According to Lady Heather Disciplining is OK, and of course the log 
reflects this as well

#! new minor alarm state 0800:? Tracking sats?? Discipline OK?? : at tow 
235167

You can see the situation from this screen grab of Lady Heather:

Have I done something wrong in configuration, or is this consistent 
Power-up mode and "doing fixes" notation the expected behavior?

I am using the Thunderbolt as at 10 MHz source for my microwave station.

Thanks in advance and 73,
