Mike, are able to ship to Canada and do you know roughly what the shipping would be ? I would be happy to purchase 2 of them so long as the shipping is reasonable.    I can pay via paypal or send a bank draft in USD. Many thanks Mark Spencer VE7AFZ - Original Message From: Mike

[time-nuts] HP 5370A temp

2011-02-07 Thread gonzo .
Hi all, I just picked up an irresistibly cheap 5370A (so cheap I didn't ask if it worked). So far it checks out ok, but I have some questions for those of you more familiar with this model. 1) The back panel heatsink (4x TO3) is sitting on 76°C (168°F). - is this normal? 2) Several resistors

Yup various components have been run hot. Like others in this group add a fan to the heat sink. Found a way to route a wire out from the raw 5 volt supply to run a 12 volt fan. Think I took one bolt out of the heat sink to route the wire. Think I added a resistor as I did not need a lot of air to

My 5370a's both run hot as heck. I used some cheap small c-clamps and some old heatsinks to increase the area of the hp heatsinks. You can also run an old fan if you have one. I've found that the whole era of Hp equipment runs too darn hot. 3325a, 8656a, etc. etc. Don gonzo . Hi all, I just

Hi Gee, a low cost 5370 The nice thing is that even though it runs hot - it's done it for a *long* time. I certainly would not argue against a fan. They are a *very* good idea. However it's not going to turn to dust without one. I would definitely keep it clean and keep the back side open

I think 61°C might be more typical, so 76°C seems pretty darn hot to me. I would make sure that your fan is running, and is mounted the right direction. (It should be blowing *into* the instrument.) Also make sure that the top instrument cover is installed. (The top cover must be in place so

[time-nuts] Calculate spectral content from a series of zero crossing time stamps?

2011-02-07 Thread Tijd Dingen
Consider the following scenario. We have a signal source of about 10 kHz, with unknown phase noise. Let's for simplicity's sake assume for now that the phase noise is large enough that it will be detectable by the following approach. We measure every zero crossing with lets say 1 ns accuracy.

Forgot to mention that in this example we are only counting the zero crossings on the positive edge. (before some clever soul points out that it should be 20,000 zero crossings. :P ) - Original Message From: Tijd Dingen tijddin...@yahoo.com To: time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Tue, February
