Earlier somebody asked if these were M12's or M12T's.    I powered mine up and connected it to Lady Heather. It appears to be an M12T.  It responds to the survey and position hold commands and outputs the sawtooth correction value.    Also the hardware ID returned is P373T12T12.

Hi Mark

I was delighted to read about Heather's ability to talk to a timing M12.  I
have been having fits here trying to get the M12 to accept any command
(using Perl.. a mistake it seems).  i wanted to end up with a Linux capable
utility and had previously used Perl to parse NEMA on my old TAC2.

I have been learning about binmode(M12) and other edge cases, but am
probably still far from the eureka moment..

anyhow, i am setting up heather5 for a trial flight.

thanks
