Hello,
I am using Garmin 18 5Hz PPS clock for USRP synchronization.
This is the GPS: Garmin | Select a Location
However, because it is 5Hz PPS not 1Hz, the synchronization looks not
working properly.
I got following message on the time stamp reading after 1 sec.
“Creating the usrp device with: …
Current recv sock buff size: 50000000 bytes
Synched to PPS: Reading time 1s later: 0.829645”
As you see, the time reading after 1 sec is smaller than 1 sec.
I am wondering if I have to buy another GPS for 1 Hz PPS.
Thanks.
Using a 5Hz PPS is not fundamentally different than 1Hz. That should not
be a problem.
Make sure your pulse has the correct levels:

It passes the pps test.
I just thought it is not working properly because the clock is too fast
(5x
than pps), and reading time is less than 1 sec.
If that is normal, then my GPS pps signal may be working correctly
