How do you

I hope you understand now that Ski has clarified. There are annoying spammers polluting the board with deals for Hacked phones and stuff. It was not directed at you. I'm sorry you did not notice the spam and felt that it was directed at you.

Anyone any ideas how to, or clues as to where i go to start figuring out..
how to decode the data coming from my module, it outputs its own serial data and it uses a 1khz sinc pulse, aparently as it arrives serially I have to shift the bits into 4 bit nibbles, whatever they are! and then convert some bits from bcd and some from hex but that bit shouldnt be a problem, its how to interface the serial output from the module to the pic, and how I'd use the serial data to decode it
sorry this is all probably really easy and simple to most of you but to me it's all new.

Is this asynchronous data? You need to know the baud rate in that case. If it is synchronous data, you could look at the SHIFTIN command. You need a clock line and data line for this to work.

Its umm not sure really
all I know is what i got off the dats sheet which for a newcomer like me isnt much
if anyone wants to look at the sheet its http://www.u-t-s.de/PDF_Daten/583374...cification.pdf

I've looked at the datasheet you linked. You will need to use the SHIFTIN command to capture this data.

Thanks
although I've decided to give up totally on trying to figure out pic chips, see my question where I asked the simple query about how you connect one to an icd2

Yep, that'll get your project done. Especially when given the simple answers in another thread.
And that datasheet is missing a few key specifications...
Is the serial output clocked by the clock itself (master) or does the clock require a clock (slave)?
Methinks quite a bit easier to go with a dedicated RTC.
