Thanks for the link. It looks like a very nice, simple and inexpensive way to do things. However, I think the other unit will suit me better, as I can plug it into the serial port of an existing WinXP PC and read the temps as ASCII data. The smarts are already on the board. - Original Mess

A neighboring house may cut the 10 degree elevation profile, but bulldozing it is not an option for the moment. Just wait until they go on vacation. When they get back, tell them it was a hurricane. Better luck with your next experiment :-) ___ ti

[time-nuts] Note on physical stabilities of timing equipment

2005-07-24 Thread Magnus Danielson
Dear fellow time-nuts, Due to recently experienced events, a useful afterthought may act as a kind reminder to you all. When setting up timing equipment, due care should be taken into consideration such that tripping on powercable should not affect the stability of the timing devices, such as a GP

All of the sudden I need a 5 MHz reference. I have loads of 10 MHz ones, but, the only 5 MHz I could find is an FE-10A and a couple of HP 00105 oscillators. I am pretty sure the 00105s died years ago. What I need is the pinout on P3 (J3). It is the only connector under the oscillator oven assembly
