FAQs

1. DCF77 The nixie clock cannot see any difference if the pulses are coming from GPS-CLOCK or a "real" DCF 77 receiver module. So all functions normally available in the software version will still be active.

2. AM/PM mode is now available in DCF77 mode.

3. Date modes:
This new software version was developed mostly for our US customers who now use our GPS to DCF77 converter.

It is now possible to set the 12/24 hr mode if in DCF77 mode and to change the date format from DD:MM:YY to MM:DD:YY.

4. Can I get a serial string out of the GPS unit ?
Yes, you can simply sneeak into the serial line from the GPS. It is ok to send the same serial string to several receivers,
we put the GPS unit into 19200 baud.
Look for the ZDA string it has both time and date GMT time.
We use 5V serial, so be aware of this and use RS232 converter if needed.
