Hi
“Included software” on the CSAC is a pretty short list …. There
is not much past the “stuff” to set it on frequency and read out
a few alarms.
There's a half dozen serial ascii commands to the CSAC, and a
corresponding number of output messages. None are particularly "special"
- I can't imagine needing a "display" for the telemetry, except perhaps
as a novelty.
You'd want to periodically check the heater power, maybe?
I'd just expose a "diagnostic interface" on a CSAC based clock, and if
you want to fool with it (or change the frequency, etc.), you hook up
your external whatever.
LE Bluetooth Serial port perhaps?
You could write an App for a phone to talk to it, and I'm sure it will
be in the top10 on the iStore and GooglePlay within weeks. Your
retirement funding is assured. <grin>
One thing that gets into a lot of these projects:
We are Time Nuts and spec things in terms of time. This error
over that period is some specific number. Maybe we look at
temperature rather than sit it on the shelf for a year. The number
is still a time error.
Very much so. Even here on "time-nuts" we discuss more about "frequency"
- ADEV is a frequency error measure, after all.
