Limitations

• The Oregano Syn1588 PCIe card accepts demodulated IRIG-B004 or IRIG-B007 signals (3.3V) only.

• The Oregano Syn1588 PCIe card can generate IRIG-B007 or 1PPS signals (3.3V) only.

• It is not possible to use two Oregano Syn1588 PCIe cards on the same system.

  On 64-bits Linux platforms, the firmware version number must be greater than 808.
