Lady Heather Version 5 is now available
Lady Heather version 5.0 is now available for download from:
http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm
Many thanks to John Miles for hosting the distribution and his work on the Windows installer, PDF documentation file, readme file, and bring an all-around good guy.
Heather now has some proper user documentation. Check the heather.pdf file and/or the comments in the first 3500+ lines of the heather.cpp file. Heather can be compiled for Linux (including the Raspberry Pi) and macOS. Download the heatherx11.zip file and check the readme.txt file for compilation instructions.
There are MANY new features in Heather. One of the main ones is support for many new receiver types. When Heather is started it defaults to attempting to automatically determine the receiver type. You can bypass this and force the receiver type using the new "/rx..." command line options. Some receiver types cannot be auto-detected. Also many receivers power up speaking NMEA and you can enable their native binary language using the /rx commands. Native binary mode gives better information and allows controlling the receiver configuration and settings.
Currently-supported receivers include:
Trimble Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt-E
Acron Zeit WWVB receiver
UCCM - Trimble / Symmetricom GPSDOs
DATUM STARLOC II GPSDO
NEC GPSDO (STAR-4 compatible)
GPSD interface
Jupiter-T (aka Zodiac)
Lucent KS24361 REF0/Z3811A (19200:8:N:1)
Motorola binary format
Generic NMEA receiver
Trimble Resolution T family with odd parity
Sirf binary
Generic Trimble TSIP binary
Ublox UBX binary
Venus mixed binary / NMEA
Nortel SCPI-compatible GPSDOs (NTWB, NTPX, etc.)
Z3801A and compatible SCPI GPSDOs
HP 5xxxx-style SCPI
Oscilloquartz STAR-4 (via the management interface)
NVS binary
PC system clock (no receiver)
After installing Heather, you should edit the heather.cfg file (or the PROPERTIES setting for the desktop icon) for your desired configuration. Everybody should change the "/tz" option for their time zone... it comes set up for the US central time zone. International uses should add a "/b..." command to set their daylight savings time information. On Windows, you can press the "n" key and that will bring up NOTEPAD to edit the file. For the changes to take effect you will need to re-start Heather (or do a "r heather.cfg" keyboard command).

Many thanks for that, Mark and John. Working nicely on my Win-10/64 PC

This seems like an idea time to send my thanks to all involved in the development of Lady Heather as well as the many Time-Nut that have contributed to the advancement and accessibility of the science of Time and Frequency. This thanks goes to all from those scientists I am barely smart enough to get coffee for, to the amateur just starting the path of learn about Time and Frequency. I have heard it said the only dumb question is the one we fail to ask.
Thanks Again and Happy Holidays;

Thanks for this new version.
I started it under Windows XP SP3, with the option /rxx as I currently have my TBolt
connected to another PC, but what I got was an error message saying :
Error exit 10002: Can't GetCommState()
I tried to no avail also to add the switch /0 in case LH were searching for a COM port,
but the error did not change...

Hi Mark,
Many thanks!
I can report that it built without intervention on my Debian linux.
I look forward to test it out on various receivers.
For linux you probably want to set CFLAGS and include -g in the build.
Running with valgrind does not come out clean, which is a good test to
help catch memory leaks and uninitiated stuff.
Cheers,
Magnus

Mark,
While I have not (yet) used Lady Heather, I plan on doing so as soon as I can
get my GPSDO. However, I do have a feature suggestion. You have an option that
allows dates to be expressions in the European format DD-MM-YYYY vs. the US
format of MM-DD-YYYY. What about an option to express dates in ISO standard
format: YYYY-MM-DD. Personally, that is the only date format that I use and it
has the advantage of being easily sorted. That may make processing collected
data easier.

Michael,
I agree with your sentiments.
I'm using the Windows version, which appears to use the dd-mmm-yyyy format,
quite acceptable to me as European.
For file names I use the format you suggest, for the same reasons:
yyyy-mm-dd

David

My LH v5.00 showed leap second as 00:00:60 on a Tbolt. Not good....
Previous June 2015 LH v3.10 correctly showed 23:59:60
If interested, I have screen captures.

Now that you mention it, so did mine...
I had LH on a ks24361. I think it displayed :00 for 2 seconds (my attempt
to record it failed). The autocapture (attached) was a little too early.
I guess this is because LH is polling the receiver every second and the
actual content depends on what the receiver replies and when it does it ?
I was also running LH with a resolution-T, but in GPS clock mode instead of
UTC. Unsurprisingly, this didn't show the leapsecond, neither did LH
capture a .gif.
One of the LHs also played the leapsec.wav file : this appeared to be white
noise, but I probably missed something clever :)
