I can program/re-program here in NZ.

I was keeping quiet because I wanted to have a go building one before
ordering 10 or so boards with the Wellington VHF Group as a SIG

Hi Steve,
my thought at this stage is to use you as a guinea pig.
I'm guessing ZL is (in postal terms) about as far (and as expensive) as
you can get from my local post office.
So it will be useful to know if the PO let it go as a letter (no customs
deceleration etc.).
The next point (not unrelated) is that the board and parts are not
useful without the PIC.
I thought what I'd do is program up a couple I have on hand and get them
in the post to you. That way, you should have them when your ready to
build.
The only downside I can see is that with so many people building these
TICs, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some rapid changes to the
code. Given the price of the PICs, I guess there is no real problem
having a spare set that can be rotated.

If your happy with this idea, send me your address and I'll load the
current code and get them on their way.

Subject: [time-nuts] Homebrew WWVB TX simulator?


Has anyone built / seen / bought a small simulator for WWVB?

I live near Boston, and the WWVB signal is pretty marginal around
here.  MSF on the same frequency isn't that far away, and local
noise is pretty fierce.  So now and then one of my WWVB listeners
(like my generally nice Junghans wristwatch) gets screwed up.
The firmware writers aren't very cautious, and there's no parity
bit in the code.

So I have the itch to build a micro-power WWVB to set stuff with,
without having to wait overnight for one or more nights.

Before I dive into such a project, has anyone done/seen such
a thing that I could buy or copy?

I've got a WWV/WWVH simulator that I wrote (and announced) back
when they were about to replace the Audichron drum machines, and
I can start from there if necessary.  The hardware part seems
a bit more interesting, but for this purpose I don't need to
derive the carrier from a GPSDO or my ancient Rb oscilator.

Tnx,

Re: [time-nuts] Question about SoundCard stability?

2010-10-12 Thread Randall Prentice
1 Hz in 10Mhz is about the same ratio as 5mHz in 64Khz.

This would make sense if the Clock for the A/D is divided off the same
TXCO.

Or am I missing something.

The reason I jumped in,  in a recent frequency measuring contest the
winner was using that interpolation for his results.

Re: [time-nuts] HP5334B with 10544 OCXO

2012-01-30 Thread Randall Prentice
There is a section in the HP5334 Service manual on changes needed.

The oscillator uses either the internal crystal (The trimmer is connected to) 
or the 10811.

Basically you change a capacitor feeding from one to the other.

I could scan the appropriate pages if you need (Contact me off list).

Re: [time-nuts] NTP jitter with Linux

Subject: [time-nuts] NTP jitter with Linux

I asked this on an NTP list, got some guesses, but no knowledgeable responses.

I've got a Trimble Thunderbolt PPS source for NTP, Linux 2.6.35, on a quad core 
CPU. PPS source is coming into a multiport serial card, which /proc/interrupts 
shows is sharing IRQ with some inactive USB ports (IRQ 17). It's a PCI-E card, 
so it would be using MSI interrupts. My understanding is that those aren't 
really "shared," in the traditional sense, but IDK. The kernel clocksource is 
TSC, which is claimed to be core invariant on my processor (AMD Athlon II 
610e). Changing to HPET doesn't help.

Running normally, I'll get about +- 20 us ptp of jitter (as reported by ntpq 
-p, and in loopstats). If I load up the CPU (load average >4 is swell), jitter 
will shrink to +- 1-2 us. I've played around with different cpufreq setting, 
thinking it might be related to the processor speed during an IRQ varying, but 
that seems to have minimal impact (performance vs. conservative vs. ondemand).

I've also tried irqbalance, with no change in performance.

So, running a process(es) which keep the CPU completely busy reduces the 
jitter. The busier, the better. Why? I'm guessing it has something to do with 
interrupt latency, but why does a busy CPU make it more consistent
- I'd expect the opposite? The difference is very obvious.

Is there something else I can do to keep the jitter low?

Aside: Something which I believe was discussed here a few weeks ago - 
clocksource speeds changing between reboots. I patched the kernel to allow 
statically setting the TSC frequency ( 
http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--tsc_khz%3D-boot-option-to-avoid-TSC-calibration-variance-td23494975.html
). This eliminates the semi-random, often 30-40 ppm change in frequency 
reported by NTP between reboots. After tweaking, it's now consistently <
1 us, reboots be damned. This should be in the mainline kernel! This made no 
difference to the jitter mentioned above, although non was expected.

To: 'Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement'
Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Interesting paper: Don't GPSD' your Rb...

Here is a different tactic for disciplining Rb from GPS/TXCO -

Consider the relatively (relative to a second) long stability of an Rb 
oscillator and the not-so-good stability of GPS. Perhaps using 1 PPS for a 
sampling period for stabilizing Rb is way too short. Maybe 1000 seconds is 
better. That's way too long for an analog integrator to do, so a microcomputer 
is required.

Count the Rb and GPS 1 PPS signals for 1000 counts of Rb 1 PPS.
You'll need to interpolate between 1 PPS GPS intervals to the level of accuracy 
required, so maybe we count cycles of 10 MHz from the GPS, using as many 
registers (cascaded integer counters) as required for 1 E10 (or more) counts 
(2540BE400 hex). At the end of 1000 seconds, use the difference between the 
lowest counter reading and 0xEB400 (times an appropriate gain) to tweak the 
value for the DAC doing the fine correction to the control voltage or current. 
Use the upper counters for a sanity check on the reading.

As may be evident, I have never tried to discipline an Rb, but I am well aware 
of the effect of sample time on the control of a long time constant loop. True, 
the effect is strongest when dead time dominates the time constant, but that is 
not the case here.
Still, I think there is value in using a long sampling time for the control 
action.

Comments accepted with enthusiasm.

Thanks everyone for the advice, both on and off list.

I do see voltage transitions on P0.5 of the C8051F330D, which is pin 19
on the DIP version of the microprocessor. So it appears that the serial
data pulses are making it from the Thunderbird to the input to the
microprocessor.

However, voltage as measured from the microprocessor VDD to GND (pins 6
to 5) is 4.94VDC. The C8051F330D manufacturer's spec for VDD is 4.2VDC
"Absolute Maximum Rating." Didier's speculation seems on point . . . 
overvoltage on the microprocessor has likely damaged it.

There is a caveat: The way the iCruze is constructed has the C8051F330D
sandwiched between two PCB's and not readily visible. So I am assuming
that the microprocessor is a C8051F330D, but that is not verified (at
least not by me). Getting at the microprocessor requires desoldering the
16-pin header which connects its PCB to the display PCB.

Not sure where to go from here . . . trash can?

I agree with this as a good fix and posted this back in April.

" What I have done with the displays I got from Fluke.L is lift the end
of the interface board and hold it away from the display board just
enough so I can heat and remove the 5 volt regulator and replace it with
a jumper. It might be a little easier to just lift the input and output
leads off their solder pads and leave the chip there but I removed the
chip as well. I'm supplying the display with a regulated 5 volts so
removing the regulator from the display assembly eliminates one of the
possible problem area by removing one of the heat sources from the
board. Some people have had problems with the regulator shutting down if
they supplied it with 12 volts and the chip went into thermal shutdown.

 Next I remove the 3 zero ohm resistors (that are where the 3 diodes
should have been installed to drop the 5 volts to ~3.3 volts for the
CPU) and replace them with a red LED with leads long enough so it can be
on the back side of the interface board because there wasn't enough room
between the boards for the LED I am using. I have some SMD red LEDs but
decided they might be too hard to solder between the two boards. The red
LED makes a pretty good
~1.7 volt zener diode so now I have the display powered by 5 volts and
the CPU powered by ~3.3 volts which makes it happy."

Couldn't download off TelstraClear,  had to use Actrix links  (DNS didn't 
resolve properly).

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] From Sundials to Atomic Clocks

Is anyone else having trouble with this url?
I've been trying it since the email came through, it just times out waiting for 
a reply.
I did try to get to it from the parent site, with the same effect. No problem 
with the nist site direct, but no go with tf.nist

I have no trouble with .pdf's from anywhere else, but I can't find the file 
anywhere else.
