GPS Receiver — Software Part Number 6010-0081-000

Version Date Changes
1.31 12/2023

Increased some data rejection thresholds due to excessive triggering from the increasingly active ionosphere as the peak of the solar cycle approaches.  Some customers who monitor very closely see the receiver drop back to the Acquire state for about three minutes.  These events do not cause disruption to the time and frequency outputs and are therefore considered "nuisance" alarms.  The latitude at which the receiver is operating influences the likelihood of seeing these events, with equatorial regions being most active.

RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade if you are experiencing these "nuisance" alarms.

1.30 10/2019

Improved hardening against, and logging of, anomalous GPS system events.

RECOMMENDATION: Please upgrade.

1.20 6/2017

Initial release.
