Many years ago, I learned a lot by reading the manual for the Z3801A. It's an owners/operators manual rather than a tutorial, but you can learn a lot by reading between the lines. There is a ham radio web site with a lot of good info, including the manual and a good story that goes with a tour through the oscillator. There are also several HP app notes and articles in the HP Journal. One covers the history: GPSDOs started as a way for power companies to figure out where lightning had hit their lines. All you have to do is measure the time the breakers trip accurately enough and you can drive the repair truck to the correct tower. The TBolt documentation probably covers a lot of the same ground. I think it's split over several documents. The protocol documentation might be a bit thick, but again, you can learn a lot by reading between the lines. For general fun reading about timing, I recommend: Time Too Good to Be True, Daniel Kleppner Physics Today, March 2006, page 10 http://scitation.aip.org/journals/doc/PHTOAD-ft/vol_59/iss_3/10_1.shtml -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
