Re: [time-nuts] Tektronix Sample Heads

Bill, As I recall it, it has a 400 kS/s rate. Undersampling as it is, if properly used, it is a marvelous tool. The TDR capability had such a live component to it that I miss in newer (but butter calibrated) systems. No wonder I have a system myself these days. The one thing I would love to

That reminds me -- years ago I cleaned up, corrected, and annotated a copy of the HP 10544 schematic. I dug it up and just posted it to Didier's site (http://www.ko4bb.com/manuals/). When it comes off quarantine, you can find it by searching for: HP 10544A schematic corrected and

The counter is in TIME MODE. And simple calculation could transform it to frequency as necessary. For example: 1/(350.50824*10^-9) 2852999.97512184021693755330 OR 1/0.00350508240900 2852999.96779619226350692058 Which is pretty close to my DDS VFO freq. value [2853000] I switch

Hi Either the output data is with the counter set to time mode (and it’s in 100’s of ns) or you have it set to frequency mode and have a very stable system. Bob On May 2, 2015, at 9:53 PM, d0ct0r t...@patoka.org wrote: Hello, I would like to create some charts for ADEV for

I wonder if anybody ever made a rotating GPS antenna to average out the X-Y phase-center offset ? PHK, I ran across this wonderful shaker table experiment and concluded that post-processing would always be better than playing moving antenna games. See pages 9-13 of:

Hi Vlad, Here are some comments. Please read carefully. Look at your data and notice that every reading is the same 3.505082408E-7, except one is 3.505082409E-7. That's not going to give you very good plots at all. Also you're not going to get much information out an ADEV tool with just 13

I switch counter to TIME MODE, because ADEV1 utility using times, not frequency: No. ADEV1 expects phase. Not time, not period, not frequency. Here is from documentation: Adev1 works on everything from pendulum clocks to hydrogen masers. The only restrictions are that the data must be
