Support Update on GPS Week Number Roll Over Issue

Support Update on GPS Week Number Roll Over Issue

Update on GPS problem with Week Number Roll Over for GPS units that pre-date 2015

Since we first alerted you to this matter last week, we have been working hard to identify what additional support we can provide to affected customers. We were only made aware of the issue on 27th March and the information provided was subject to subsequent changes. We now have more clarity on the implications for our systems.

DM24 Mk3 Patch

For DM24 Mk3 digitisers and integrated instruments (manufactured since 2005) we are now working on a patch and we have high confidence that this will work. If you are unsure which DM24 digitiser you are using, view our guidance on 'Distinguishing between a Mk2 and Mk3 DM242 digitiser'.
 
There will be some limitations to our provision of the patch:

It will only be possible to apply the patch to systems that are on-line if they have an integrated EAM. Digitisers without an EAM will need to be updated on site. We cannot guarantee that a remote update will always be possible.

For any customer who needs to eliminate uncertainty, our advice is to swap the GPS hardware now. You can find more information on our guidance note.

As soon as we have tested the patch, we will post an update with instructions on how you can apply it. If you would like to be added to the distribution list to receive this information by email, please send a request to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Other Affected Systems

Currently we do not expect to be able to provide a patch for DM24 Mk2 or CD24 systems. For both of these types of systems we advise a GPS hardware swap as the best solution.

Further Updates

We will continue to update the GPS NWRO guidance note on our website with our latest advice.

We are aware that this situation provides some logistical challenges for our customers and we apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result. You may have seen in the media that this situation is widespread amongst earlier GPS units supplied by a number of different manufacturers.
