Re: [time-nuts] device as sniffer/ promiscuous mode GPIB devices?

There is also a battery handheld unit by Racal Dana which will trigger and display captured bus transactions. Also the function is on some logic analysers. I have low end BlackStar LA that has an IEEE-488 personality cardall acquired cheaply on that auction site Alan G3NYK - Original

[time-nuts] Common-view GPS calibrations?

2008-01-28 Thread John Ackermann N8UR
I was just looking at the NIST's frequency and time measurement services, where for a monthly fee that provide a box that will give you either frequency or time calibrations traceable to NIST. Both services use common-view GPS. Would it be feasible for the time-nuts to do their own common-view

Hi Patrick, HP, IoTech, and National make (or made) cool stand-alone GPIB debuggers that I think can be used as bus level sniffers, at least for low data volume and rates. I have extras here and can give you one for your project. Contact me offline. /tvb - Original Message - From:
