Re: [time-nuts] WTB: Older Version of LabView
I found version 8.0 bloated and slow, especially compared to version 7.1. It also slowed my computer to a crawl, even when it wasn't running. Version 8.0 was even worse than 7.0. Version 8.2 was a little bit better. Version 8.6 was usable, however NI dropped support for older systems, which is what I was supporting at the time. The LabVIEW Project (which was added in 8.6, I think) made life easier. LabVIEW 2009 is pretty good. I haven't had a chance to really test LV2010. I'm working with real-time systems and LV2010 isn't recognizing them yet. For quick and easy use of GPIB, LabVIEW can't be beat. It also gives you easy graphing and saving of data. In a separate email to the list you said that you wanted to play with PCMCIA GPIB on an older Thinkpad. I recommend you use version 7.1 It will do everything you need without bogging down your computer. For hobby use, 8.6 doesn't really get you anything and may be too much for your laptop. I used to run 7.1 on a 1.4 GHz Pentium M laptop, talking to three Keithley meters and a switch chassis over GPIB without any performance issues. I also ran the same test systems with 600 MHz Celeron processors and 256 MB of memory on Win98, Win2000, and NT 3.5 systems using 7.1. On those slow, memory-short systems, screen updates were a little slow but I never missed any data. Note that none of NI's PCMCIA products work with Vista or Win 7. Brent On 8/17/2010 8:15 PM, J.

[time-nuts] Tbolt and iCruse readout problem - any ideas?
Hi all, Having struggled in vain to solve this problem, I thought I would make a plea for help as my first posting to Time Nuts . . . so here goes! I have a Tbolt with v3.00 firmware which works fine with the Tboltmon.exe V2.60 and Lady Heather software. It also works fine with the iCruse Tbolt LCD monitor - except that the monitor will not display the DAC V value, all the other values are displayed without a problem.

I have two questions really: 1) Is there a setting which I need to change in my Tbolt using Tboltmon.exe to get this to work? 2) Does anybody on Time Nuts have an iCruse which shows a negative value for the DAC V? As far as I can see, there are 3 options: a) there is a configuration problem, b) the iCruse doesn't display negative values for DAC V, c) my iCruse is faulty.

Re: [time-nuts] Tbolt and iCruse readout problem - any ideas?
When you say will not display the DAC V value, do you mean the display is blank, or it displays garbage? Interestingly, the code that displays temperature and DAC voltage is essentially the same, the only difference being which part of the data string received from the Thunderbolt is processed, so it is hard to imagine why one would work and not the other, unless the data received from the TB is corrupted in the part that should contain the DAV value, and the conversion routine fails. If you have doubts that the serial interface may not be working (I am not sure about what missing resistor you are talking about), fix that first and try again.

Re: [time-nuts] Tbolt and iCruse readout problem - any ideas?
Hi Didier, No - the display reads DAC V: 0. on the iCruse LCD, all the other data (including temperature) displays normally and correctly. So it is only that part of the data which doesn't seem to be decoded and displayed correctly. The really odd thing is that the DAC V value can be seen in Tboltmon.exe, although I realise that that particular program also sends data to the Tbolt, which the iCruse does not. The reference to the RS232 resistors was in the context of the discussions regarding whether the values in the iCruse are correct - but of course if all the other data is being received correctly, there doesn't seem to be any logical reason why the DAC data would be any different. Thanks for the reply, but I'm still puzzled!

Re: [time-nuts] Tbolt and iCruse readout problem - any ideas?
there doesn't seem to be any logical reason why the DAC data would be any different. That is the kind of thinking I do often, and usually end up kicking myself in the butt later for :) It could be that the serial data is corrupted during the transmission of the DAC value because of a particular bit pattern. It is not like the *design* of the RS-232 converter is bullet-proof... I had a very similar problem here at work just a week ago for the exact same reason (cheap RS-485 to RS-232 converter messed up one particular type of message, but worked well for over a year prior to that) I have nothing else to offer, nobody else has reported this problem, and as I pointed out earlier, the code is basically the same that is displaying the temperature. Another possibility is that the chip's firmware may be corrupted, in which case it may need to be reflashed. Other than that, I don't know. When facing something apparently illogical, do not exclude possible causes simply because they are improbable... If the solution were where you expected it, it would be already fixed, and if there were no problem, we would not be having that conversation :) Look under all the stones, not just those that look to be about the right size.

The original screws are about 15.5 mm long and are threaded on the first 6 mm approx. The shank is thinner the rest of the way, approx. 3mm, so you can undo those screws and not loose them. I beleive they are called captive screws. If your base is threaded for M4, you may want to drill the holes out to 4 mm to eliminate the threads. -- FL --- Den ons 18/8/10 skrev k6...@comcast.net k6...@comcast.net: Fra: k6...@comcast.net k6...@comcast.net Emne: [time-nuts] Mounting hardware for HP/Symmetricom 58532A GPS antenna?

Just boards, 5 times 9.00 = $45 mailed payment $47.5 Paypal two pictic, one DDS board, two mixer boards, note the PDF talks about a 3rd pictic as an option. If you had another offset source no need for the DDS board. If you have Time interval counters that are interfaced to a computer then no need for the PicTic boards. Guess you could use the DDS board for other projects also. Each mixer board has two identical channels so it would be possible to use just one in some applications.

Re: [time-nuts] Small DMTD project PCBs Group Buy Update
Stanley, Are you ready to accept payments for these now or are you still working out the details? I would want the 3rd PICTIC II option for the expanded DMTD. 73 Brice KA8MAV - Original Message - From: Stanley Reynolds stanley_reyno...@yahoo.com To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Small DMTD project PCBs Group Buy Update Just boards, 5 times 9.00 = $45 mailed payment $47.5 Paypal two pictic, one DDS board, two mixer boards, note the PDF talks about a 3rd pictic as an option. If you had another offset source no need for the DDS board. If you have Time interval counters that are interfaced to a computer then no need for the PicTic boards. Guess you could use the DDS board for other projects also. Each mixer board has two identical channels so it would be possible to use just one in some applications. I 'm offering the boards in any combination.

Re: [time-nuts] Mounting hardware for HP/Symmetricom 58532A GPS antenna -- M4 x 0.7?
Fleming-- Many thanks! While waiting for a backup to complete, I dug out the traditional box of unsorted hardware each of us probably has. Rummaging through the box turned up four very pretty torx-headed stainless screws the proper size and length. They're not quite captive in the new mount, but the gasket holds them in place. I'm going to dig through the box for more; I'd rather have extras in my kit when I'm up on the roof, as one is certain to try and escape on me! For those looking for the answer later on, the 58532A GPS antenna uses M4 x 0.7 screws. Didier -- I didn't spot that detail in the HP/Symmetricom manuals available on the net. They only show the assemblies. 73 de Bob K6RTM in Silicon Valley -- Message: 3 Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:07:30 + (GMT) From: Flemming Larsen oz...@yahoo.dk Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Mounting hardware for HP/Symmetricom 58532A GPS antenna?
