The Trimble Acutime 2000 outdoor antenna

looks identical to the Trimble Palisade GPS antenna.

Mark, GM4ISM had surplus Palisade antennas, at one time.
He noted differential RS-422 configuration and TSIP output.
He has Trimble programs on his web page.

Andy, G4JNT wrote a PIC conversion (Trimble—> NEMA) for Mark’s project.

Palisade uses Deutsch IMC-200 12-pin circular connector, part number: IMC26-2212

Subject: [time-nuts] Looking for Datum TymServe 2000 (TS2000) manual

Hello Time-Nuts,
After a very long journey trying to figure out the correct cable
configuration between the AcuTime GPS antenna (receiver) and a Datum
TS2000 I now have it working.  Now I am in need of a manual so I can
talk over the serial port.  The protocol is apparently not the same as
the TS2100.

I'm more than happy to share the cable schematic if anyone needs it.
It would be the same for Bancomm bc627 and 635/7 (?) as well as the
TS2000.  If you have any of these units you could probably use many
different Trimble receivers (Resolution-T for instance) with RS-422
converter (though I have not tried it - yet).

Thanks in advance for any help.
