Good afternoon everyone,
So I have a bunch of Datum and Efratom LPRO Rb oscillators. I know that
one of them is bad and I already swapped it out. I was getting really
long lock times (if lock at all happened) and read that was an
indicator.
These things were all made from like 1999-2001 or so and from what I
understand have about a 15 year lifespan. However a former colleague
told me today that this limitation is really only if they are powered
on. Is this true? If so then some of these units apparently were only
hooked up for a couple years and then the servers they were in were
taken offline and they may still have 10+ years of service right?
I was really wondering if someone could point me in the right direction
(or towards a tutorial) on how I can test these and see if they are
still okay? I don't have a lot of engineering experience but I do have
access to a multi-meter and an oscilloscope and a decent amount of luck
when it comes to troubleshooting.
Respectfully,
