Port2 of this GPS clock is specific to just this model and
gives a 16 byte pulse once every other second with Time-of-Day
in a binary format.

The data is shown in Hex:
======
00 09 01 07 03 01 04 04 00 02 03 01 03 00 00 0D
======

All numerical data is transmitted as a single 
byte per digit, i.e. digit 9 is transmitted as 09 Hex.

Bytes 1-2 are two least significant digits of 
the Year (00 09) 2009.

Bytes 3-5 are the numerical Day of the Year 
(01 07 03) or day 173 (June 22).  Zero starts as Jan 1

Bytes 6-7 are the Hour (01 04), hour 14 or 2PM.

Bytes 8-9 are the Minute (04 00), minute 40.

Bytes 10-11 are the Second (02 03), second 23.

Bytes 12-13 are the Accumulated Leap Seconds (01 03), 13 leap seconds.

Bytes 14-15 SmartClock Mode or Status:
01 00: Power-Up Mode,
10 00: Holdover Mode,
00 00: GPS Lock Mode

Byte 16 is a Carriage Return (0D).

Under the example above, the Date and Time is 
June 22, 2009 (day 173) at 14:40:23,  and no Holdover.
On the Port2 serial interface, the serial port parameters are 
fixed at 9600, N, 8, 1 and cannot be changed.  Although the Port2
connector is wired for Receive Data (pin 3) it does not appear that
the GPS Receiver will accept any commands. All SCPI [http://www.ivifoundation.org/scpi/] commands must be
issued over the Port1 serial interface connector.

When the last byte (0D) is received, sync should happen then which
lines-up with Tcl's trigger for a readable event quite well.

The test script prints this every 2 seconds
