I can ansver my own question here. Timelab autodetects the Prologix-Eth (with mac & ip) , and lists it below all the COMM-Ports. Nice work John ... So all i had to do was to select the detected Prologix , and set the PM6680 GPIB address. I'm acquiring data now , although not very impressive. I run my Tbolt signal through a Video Dist-Amp (400Mhz bw) , to get 6-channels. So i know the 75ohm imp there , but it's not been an issue so far. I feed the PM6680 Ext-Ref and Chan-A via a Dist-Amp output on a BNC-T. And have put a BNC-T on Chan-A with a 50ohm terminator on it. I have Chan-A set to 1Mohm , as i terminate the input via the BNC-T on Chan-A. But i wonder if the PM6680 Ext-Ref input already terminates with 50-ohm , and that could be the issue ?? The counter flickers occasionally in the last digit between 0 , 1 and 9 And Timelab says ADEV is 9.442-E-6 on T=1000 Secs. I would have expected something better .... LH says the ADEV is Osc ADEV is 5.442-E-13 on 10000 Secs I wonder where i have FSCK'ed up , or is a Tbolt on Ext-Ref & the same signal on Chan-A supposed to show that ?
