An earlier question concerned whether the Thunderbolt could be put into battery backup mode without the -12V supply. The definitive answer is NO!
The Thunderbolt OCXO is controlled via a DAC voltage that can range from -5V to 5V (the standard oscillator control is -5Hz/V. All mine are operating at around 0.35V). The -5V DAC reference depends upon the -12V input supply. Also the Thunderbolt monitors all three supply voltages and it will throw a critical alarm condition when any are out of whack. _________________________________________________________________ Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_072008 _______________________________________________ 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.
