); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY I have been a strong advocate for the 53131/2 counter since I first encountered in in 1993. Most of my applications are for a time-interval counter (TIC) measuring the time interval between an atomic clock and GPS (see my Timing for VLBI papers at [1]http://gpstime.com). The two reasons are 1. It is simple and cheap and reliable, especially for the casual user. 2. It has a simple RS-232 "printer" interface that is really easy to use. Rick Hambly used the 53131/2 simple interface to make his Tac32Plus (and Multi) software packages into an integrated TIC logging utility (see [2]http://[3]cnssys.com/cnsclock/Tac32PlusSoftware.html)
If you are shopping for a counter, try to find a 53132. It has an extra digit at the 100 psec level that is quite useful. They appear on Ebay quite often. My last purchase was a 132 at the $1k level. 73, Tom References Visible links 1. http://gpstime.com/ 2. http://www.cnssys.com/cnsclock/Tac32PlusSoftware.html 3. http://www.cnssys.com/cnsclock/Tac32PlusSoftware.html Hidden links: 4. http://gpstime.com/ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
