Re: [time-nuts] Counters for ADEV measurements

2012-10-02 Thread Geoff Blake
Whilst considering the best settings for ADEV measurements, could I ask for views regarding the venerable HP 5345A counter/timer? I like this counter, particularly regarding its ability to operate up to 40GHz - with a suitable plug-in of course, and that I have two of them! Thanks Geoff _

Examining the 8568A circuit diagrams, the OSC 61-61C has three connections other than the grounds and ~10MHz. There are two inputs Voven and Vosc and an oven telltale. Voven is 1 diode drop below +20V, Vosc is two diode drops below +20V. I have yet to track the oven telltale info. 73 Geoff --
