Re: [time-nuts] Capture of leapsecond on HP 58503A time and frequency reference receiver

Reposting the output in a fixed width font. It looked fixed on my other
client.

I note the clock says "Time _ +1 leap second pending" at 23:59:60,
which one can argue is wrong.


*Status reports a couple of times before the leap second. *

*Now one after the leap second. The notice about a 

[time-nuts] Capture of leapsecond on HP 58503A time and frequency reference receiver

2016-12-31 Thread Dr. David Kirkby - Kirkby Microwave Ltd
This was a bit hit and miss. I sent 'SYSTEM:STATUS?' by hand, when I thought it 
was the right time. I got lucky. There are a couple of outputs before the 
leapsecond, and one or two after it.


I did an audio recording on my Virgin mobile phone. I'll upload that later, 
after some sleep.
