Is there a methodological difficulty using the reference clock to also clock a TIC? Specifically, I have a 5370B with the DUT on the start input and a 5065A on both the stop input and the external clock input. Thanks, Bob Darby ___ time-nuts

[time-nuts] Pendulum CNT91 with TimeLab

2013-10-09 Thread GandalfG8
Has anybody had any success setting up the Pendulum CNT91, or the Tektronix rebadged equivalent FCA3100, to run with TimeLab? It was suggested here some time ago that it should be possible to achieve this by running the counter in talk only mode but so far I've had no luck with the FCA3100

Not sure if there's anything to worry about, but I don't think there are any good reasons to do it. The OCXO in the 5370 is an order of magnitude more stable from one second to the next than the counter's resolution would allow you to measure at t0=1s. -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC

TimeLab will capture and display the *IDN? result as the instrument name, but it shouldn't reject the connection if it doesn't get what it expects. How is it behaving when it rejects the data? You've got to wonder what was going through the heads of the designers of the various counters that

Corby, yes, the green light comes on, but when I turn the osc. fine control by more than +/- 30, it goes off. The output frequency changes with the fine adjust, so that narrow range appears more like a pseudo lock indication. I can even unplug A8P6 and the green light is still on. Output from

Hi John Thanks for your reply. If I configure the counter for compatible mode, then set it up to measure frequency as a 53131/53132 from the Acquire menu and press the Monitor button, TimeLab displays the actual instrument name and then follows this with line after line of frequency

Considering that I now know there is data coming through I'm wondering if I'm still misinterpreting that error message. I was assuming that the ID string was what TimeLab was claiming to be an invalid frequency but it occurs to me that it might also mean I'm getting invalid frequency data
