Hello Time-nuts.... I'd like to join your club. I've been lurking for quite some time. During this time, I went to Xtal oscillator to OCXO to GPSDO to Rubidium to GPSD Rb to TODAY, Cesium standard. I thought this would be a good time to stop lurking and start talking. The Cesium unit in question is Datum FTS-4040A. I bought it on cheap. I have no evidence that Cs tube has ever been replaced but it locks in 6 minutes and it is quite stable. It must be a basic unit because RS232 port is not wired (connector is there), 1 pps is not there, and only output available are 1, 5, and 10MHz.
I would first like to collect manuals. I went to my "usual places" and did not find any. I did find one for 4040B but the part I really need are missing on mine and standard on B. First goal is to enable RS232C so I can monitor. MONITOR connector is there but this is just for relay outputs for major errors, etc. If anyone can help, I'd be very appreciative. I also would like to meet fellow FTS-4040A owners and exchange notes. Thanks - Taka in Orlando FL --------------------------------------- (Mr.) Taka Kamiya I'm stuck in a wormhole....
