Yeah, I know about the GPIB vs Airforce issue. Turns out all the seller's cards are Rev B, which I'm assuming won't work with the Rev. A counter. =/ I'll see if I can get onto the Racal-Dana group, thanks! -Ryan Stasel On Feb 6, 2015, at 10:07 , Malcolm via time-nuts time-nuts@febo.com

[time-nuts] HP 5065A questions

Joe, Your unit could be a 916 prefix with the newer physics package and 10811 added as retrofits. Look at the top of the A3 module, what is the series number? Also look at the A9 op-amp module, does it have a Epoxy block op-amp or a transistor can style op-amp? What serial number is penciled

Thank you all. Unfortunatly I'm still not able to get TimeLab in contact with any of my RS232 interfaces. Is there may an option when calling limelab.exe to force the usage of a defined port? Inbetween I tried also a lot with system.reg. HTerm is very tolerant to the names given to the ports,

[time-nuts] GPS active antenna delay ?

2015-02-07 Thread Tom McDermott
I have a white-hockey-puck style active GPS antenna, probably about 1998 vintage with no markings except 'Made in Mexico'. While compensating for cable delay is relatively straight forward by measuring the length and compensating for the velocity factor, a question is: how much amplifier / filter

Hello to the group a while back a discussion occurred about old ethernet 10 BT transformers for isolation and square to sine conversion. You can obtain NOS on ebay for a 14 pin dip 2 transformer block 20F001n from China quite cheap. I picked up 20. As a transformer they operate from 40 KHz to 16

A further comment on design of pseudo random code generators. At some point the code may enter the dreaded all zeros state. This clocks a zero on the input stage through all stages and the whole thing just stops. So a AND gate looking at all stages in parallel is used to detect the all zero
