Re: [time-nuts] Datum TS2100 10MHz frequency drift

Philip Zahariev via time-nuts kirjoitti: Unfortunately I'm not happy with results because 10 MHz output signal after GPS lock (both leds on front "Locked" and "tracking" are "ON") has frequency drift (phase shift) with period around one second plus minus ~18 deg (+-5 ns) compared to other 10 MHz

Re: [time-nuts] Looking for Datum/Symmetricom MONITOR.EXE software

Hi Skip, You might try contacting Symmetricom directly.  That's how I got my copy of monitor3.exe for my PRS-45A.  You can change the baudrate etc on monitor3.exe. Bob From: Skip Withrow To: time-nuts Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 9:18 AM Subject: [time-nuts] Looking for Datum/Sy

Re: [time-nuts] The Pendulum Paradigm by Martin Beech, 2014

Yes, but first you need a very stable pendulum clock as pointed out by TVB, a stability better than 0.05ppm for a mechanical clock is a real challenge. On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 12:56 PM, Jim Lux wrote: > On 10/28/15 7:48 PM, Jim Lux wrote: >>

[time-nuts] Looking for Datum/Symmetricom MONITOR.EXE software

Hello Time-Nuts, Looks like the TLI interface on my PRS-50 has died (I just can't get anything through either serial port - 9600,8,N,1), and I need to switch the auxiliary output from its current 5MHz to 10MHz. When I remove the TLI interface I can see status over the rear RS-232 connector at 240

Re: [time-nuts] Low noise quartz crystal oscillator by Bruce Griffiths

Hi They do it pretty much the same way everybody else makes the same sort of oscillators. Design, build, tune / select, test, re-tune/ select, re-test. The amount of test / tune depends enormously on what level of oscillator is being made. > 80% of the volume shipped gets relatively less effort
