Nice to know that they actually work :-) I don't need one myself right now, as I already have a NI Ethernet-GPIB controller that I bought on ebay last year. However, I'm going to keep that USB-GPIB controller in mind for future needs. Reading the web page, it appears to the system as a virtual seri

I don't think there is such a thing as a "low cost" GPIB card. Sometimes you can find one on ebay for an ok price, but not often. There was a USB to GPIB adapter that was mentioned on this list a while back. It was inexpensive. - Original Message - From: "Glenn Powers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Assuming the 10 MHz output is divided down to 1 PPS and the 1 PPS is set to within 1E-7 of TAI via GPS. About how long should an undisciplined LPRO-101 remain with 1 second of TAI? How long should it remain within 1E-6 second of TAI? The Symmetricom site says: * <5E-11/Month Aging and "The L

Hi All, In the previous thread, "HP 58540A Phase Noise Improvements", Matt Ettus noted the following: The jitter that is added by a divider would most probably pose a greater limit to the phase noise of the PLL than that of the specific OCXO used. Now my question: How can one divide a digital
