Keep in mind that the two sides of the GPSDO +have a different number of pins. When inserting the GPSDO, make sure to +press down firmly and evenly. When turning on the USRP X3x0 device, a +green LED should illuminate on the GPSDO. This signifies that the unit +has successfully been placed. + +<b>NOTE: The pins on the GPSDO are very fragile. Be sure to press down +evenly, or the pins may bend or break. Once the GPSDO is in place, we +very highly discourage further removal, as this also risks damaging the +pins.</b> + +\section gpsdox_using Using the GPSDO in Your Application + +By default, if a GPSDO is detected at startup, the USRP will be +configured to use it as a frequency and time reference. The internal +VITA timestamp will be initialized to the GPS time, and the internal +oscillator will be phase-locked to the 10MHz GPSDO reference. If the +GPSDO is not locked to satellites, the VITA time will not be +initialized. + +GPS data is obtained through the **mboard_sensors** interface. To +retrieve the current GPS time, use the **gps_time** sensor: + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp} + usrp->get_mboard_sensor("gps_time"); +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The returned value will be the current epoch time, in seconds since +January 1, 1970. This value is readily converted into human-readable +format using the **time.h** library in C, **boost::posix_time** in C++, +etc. + +Other information can be fetched as well. You can query the lock status +with the **gps_locked** sensor, as well as obtain raw NMEA sentences +using the **gps_gprmc**, and **gps_gpgga** sensors. Location +information can be parsed out of the **gps_gpgga** sensor by using **gpsd** +or another NMEA parser. + + +*/ +// vim:ft=doxygen: |
