Re: [time-nuts] Telecom Solutions DCD Cesium

One more thing... Some of the older 5045 modules had badly implemented hardware handshaking on the RS-232. Sometimes it helps to wire RTS to CTS in the connector of your RS232 cable which attaches to the cesium module. In any case, it never hurts. -RL

[time-nuts] Self Test Error 2 on HP 3325

Hi Folks, does anyone of you have a clue what a fail on self test #2 in a HP 3325 synthesizer really means? TIA Ulrich Bangert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ortholzer Weg 1 27243 Gross Ippener ___ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com

Re: [time-nuts] Self Test Error 2 on HP 3325

Ulrich - I do not know what you mean by really means, but self test #2 tests the amplitude calibration of the square wave output according to the manual. Regards - Mike Mike B. Feher, N4FS 89 Arnold Blvd. Howell, NJ, 07731 732-886-5960 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My 3325A often shows an amplitude calibrate fail at poweron, but if I wait a few seconds and then hit the cal button, it passes. Not sure if that's the same thing as you're seeing or not. John Mike Feher said the following on 03/18/2006 10:20 AM: Ulrich - I do not know what you mean by

Re: [time-nuts] Self Test Error 2 on HP 3325

Hi Folks, thanks for your extreme fast and precise answers! From these i follow that a 3325 showing this error is out of calibration concerning it's square wave output or the square wave output may be totally out of order at worst. That is everything i need to know! Thank You Ulrich, DF6JB

Re: [time-nuts] Self Test Error 2 on HP 3325

I'm guessing that in my case, the unit just needs to warm up or otherwise stabilize a little bit before the calibration routine can succeed. John Ulrich Bangert said the following on 03/18/2006 10:45 AM: Hi Folks, thanks for your extreme fast and precise answers! From these i follow
