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 B2X0 device, -a green LED should illuminate on the GPSDO. This signifies that the unit -has successfully been placed. - -**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.** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -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: - -:: - - 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. |
