Hello, on the website of my company you can find a list of papers on the subject of crystal measurement techniques. http://www.axtal.com/English/TechnicalNotes/TechnicalArticlesPublications/LiteratureaboutQuartzCrystals/
The actual standard procedure for crystal measurement is by using modern network analyzers with error correction, as given in the IEC publication 60444-5. A description of the method and its variants can be found in my 2012 paper listed on the mentioned website.

Trivia: The HP 4194 may be the only instrument that can really characterize watch crystals ( 32768 Hz) for impedance which is in the meg Ohms range. Some of the HP network analyzers can fit swept frequency data into an equivalent crystal equivalent circuit. -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html -------- Original Message -------- > Hi all, > I found this Crystal Impedande Meter produced by RFL Industries inc, > Boonton. > I would like to understand how to use it and I do not have any > documentation. > I'm not even able to figure out if it works properly. > I would like to ask you if someone owns the service/operating manual and > can share it with me. > Look at the picture thanks > Luciano > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
