[time-nuts] T-Bolt oven / LH question

2012-10-13 Thread Don Oconnor
Bob and George I now believe my T-bolt is operating correctly. Upon power-up the cooled T-bolt draws about 700mA on the +12 supply until the oscillator warms up. I also misunderstood the temperature sensor and the temperature displays on the LH software Thanks for your assistance. Don O'Conno

[time-nuts] T-Bolt oven / LH question

2012-10-12 Thread Don Oconnor
Hello all, I recently purchased a ThunderBolt on eBay. I believe the T-Bolt's oscillator oven is not operating correctly. But, having never used a T-Bolt or Lady Heather software I'm not sure. Why I believe there is a problem: 1.The T-Bolt's external case is barely warm (my guess about 100

[time-nuts] GPSDO control loops and correcting quantization error

2012-09-14 Thread Don Oconnor
Nigel, Yes, you understood and answered the question. Thank you Don O I don't know if I've misunderstood your question, but as I understand it the voltage reference output is a fixed voltage from an internal regulator that can then be used as the supply to an external control circuit. Fo

2012-09-14 Thread Don Oconnor
Hello all, Most voltage controlled XOs have a voltage reference output. Is it necessary for the DAC output / frequency control input, to track this voltage reference output? Thank You Don O'Connor ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.c

[time-nuts] GPSDO Component Selection

2012-09-09 Thread Don Oconnor
Hello, I would like to design and build a microcontroller based GPSDO. And I have a couple of questions some of you may be able to answer. 1. I am going to use Trimble SMT GPS timing module but I'm curious. Does a GPS timing receiver produce a more precise 1 PPS output than a s
