Well, the 4-port serial to Ethernet converter has been running for 22 hours, collecting data from two GPSDO's and it hasn't missed a beat. Although I have had the Lucent unit running for several months, this is the first time I have hooked up to the RS-422 port and taken data from it. From the loo

Yes, I should have realized that it wasn't comparing the GPSDO against anything. So, what is the point of this graph in Z38xx? On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 7:39 PM, Bob Camp wrote: > Hi > > Be *very* careful looking at plots based on translated DAC readings. You > don’t really have all you need to co

Hi Be *very* careful looking at plots based on translated DAC readings. You don’t really have all you need to come up with proper numbers. A simple scale error can make things look much better or much worse than they actually are. Bob > On Mar 16, 2016, at 7:54 PM, Joseph Gray wrote: > > Wel

Hi The graph is a nice way to see if there are any strange humps in the dac info when it is translated into frequency. We are used to looking at ADEV plots so it is not a bad way to present the data. If you have a unit that goes crazy every few hours, it will give you a bump on the plot. Bob

The Fury and other Jackson Labs GPSDOs can be put into manual holdover with the SYNChronization:HOLDover:INITiate command and taken out of holdover with the SYNChronization:HOLDover:RECovery:INITiate command. The phase measurement from the sync:tint? query remains valid while in the manual holdove

Joe, I've had good luck with Systech Terminal Servers on eBay. I've bought five of them for use at home and work and none of them have had any problems. Two port ones are around $20 and four port ones are around $50. Some of them support RS-485. Make sure they come with the power supply.
