I actually had the privilege of hearing David Allan present his theories in the yearly NIST conference in Boulder. Interesting fellow. One thing that was pretty cool is that NIST developed a fountain clock that is so accurate it is influenced by altitude. They had to raise the clock once to i

Hi, I second this. You can read the calibration data out of the counter and save. I've done some experiments with that, but nothing conclusive, but I blame my lack of patience and not a proper setup. Do replace the battery, it is cheap and relatively easy to do. Would you loose this calibration,

Hi According to page 1-3 in https://bama.edebris.com/download/hp/5345a/5345a_6.pdf The 5345 is a 2 ns counter. Roughly speaking, that normally gets you around 2x10^-9 at 1 second. That would suggest there is something a bit off in your

Hi All. While I’m waiting for a 5370B to come ( find it cheap and beautiful from France ) I’ve put my old 5345A on a trial, connecting both the Inputs to the 10 mhz out from an Oscilloquartz 3200 Cesium Oscillator. Those are the results. Please advise 😊 Regards, Giorgio. [cid:image001.gif@01D6A

Hi Just to be complete: They also have the “modules” as well. You can buy the full up Arduino device with display or (for less money) just the little board with the chip and a few vital parts on it. They claim to be testing 3,000 of them ….. Bob > On Oct 29, 2020, at 7:56 AM, Ben Hall wrote:

For those who have the PM6681 (aka CNT81): check the 3V memory backup cell and replace it before the dreaded calibration lost (CAL LOST) will appear on the LCD. Replace the coin cell with great care (with the counter powered up), see the service manual for the procedure.

Hi I think you will find that most of this gear came in two voltage ranges. One version ran from about 20V to about 34V The other version ran from about 36V to about 56V. The first one gets called 24 or 28V. The second one gets called 48V. Both *should* be able to run off a pretty basic supply.
