Hello guys,
I got my FTS4050 Cesium Reference, and have it up and running. It works
quite well.
The Beam current reads 1.8V (I guess this means 1.8mA?), and Zeeman works. I
am now fine-tuning with GPS.
Some questions I had:
* Can I read the remaining lifetime of the Cs tube out of
Can't help with Cs tubes, but the HP 5370 can do 12 digits/second and
many other amazing things, such as 20pS resolution time interval in
single shot, and 0.1pS in repetitive mode.
This is what I have learned about counters lately:
The 5370A is relatively common on eBay, I bought two units
.

Hi Didier,
that's great info thanks so much, I'll be looking for one... price seems
reasonable.
I have a 5334A and B, and love the fact that they run quietly. Something to
consider on the 5370. My dream counter is the 53132A, but those are so
expensive...

Hi everyone,
I got a quote for the Symmetricom Cs tubes. No comment.
After having done a little research, we do not have any replacement tubes
for the FTS4050 Model. We have new tubes for Models 4040, 4065, and 4201.
The cost $17,800
bye,
