How do we achieve synchronization with the MIDG II output?

The newer MIDG IIs (SIS90031C) have a one-pulse-per-second output signal that can be used in conjunction with the TIM_PPS message to precisely determine time. This mechanism is intended to allow the host computer to synchronize itself to GPS time just as the MIDG II is synchronized to GPS time. Also, the newer MIDG IIs have a build option that provides a pulse input pin. When a rising edge is received on the pin, the MIDG transmits a message that indicates the time that the edge occurred to within 1 millisecond. Even if you have a MIDG II that predates these hardware features, there is a chance we can upgrade it.
