[time-nuts] PPS delay on rockwell

2015-02-15 Thread Francesco Messineo
Hi all, I'm testing a custom (and unknown to me) GPS board I had for free some years ago. It has a 10 KHz output and 1 PPS output. Using a thunderbolt as reference, 10 KHz output is abut 13 mHz higher (10 MHz output of the thunderbolt is the time base of the counter, HP-5386A). I measured the PPS

I'm working on a measurement setup using an HP 5334 TIC to capture single-shot PPS data that I log via GPIB. For each reading I clear the counter, then poll using SRQ until data is ready. The measurement cycle seems to always take between 1.5 and 2 seconds, even if the start/stop signals arriv
