said,
if i understand correctly, while in holdover, activated by
sync:hold:init, temperature and aging compensation are still active (as
it should be). however, to measure drift, i have to somehow disable
these compensations, haven't i?
yesterday, i wrote down the values of temperature and aging
compensation, then set both to 0. in holdover the software does not seem
to recalculate the values, at least not during the hour or two i had the
oscillator unlocked. on uli's Z38XX the EFC curve was flat, unlike when
temperature and aging compensation are active (or not 0) during
holdover. one hour or so after sync:hold:rec:init i checked the values
again, and they were very close to the values before i reset them to 0.
my question is: would this be the correct procedure to have a truely
unlocked oscillator: start holdover and then set tempco and aging to 0?
thank you,
hans
Bill,
There is an easier method that does not jiggle the board mechanically:
The command:
sync:hold:init
Disables the disciplining.
sync:hold:rec:init
Re-enables disciplining.
The sync:tint? command can be used to check the drift while in
holdover..
Bye,
Said
