What are time-nuts using for monitoring the environment?

I have been playing a little with the Bosch BME280 - doing air pressure,
temp and relative humidity in a small form factor. Easy to interface to
Raspberry Pi or Arduino.

[time-nuts] New Product Release - GPSDO Frequency Standard

2016-05-18 Thread Bob Stewart
Hi guys,

It's time I got off the dime and did a product release of my GPSDO.  My mission 
in creating this unit was to provide a stable and accurate frequency reference 
with 10Mhz, 5Mhz, and 1Mhz outputs.  It does have a PPS output, but that is 
directly from the Ublox receiver, and is not corrected for sawtooth error.  
More information can be found in the brochure and quick start guide in the link 
below.

I have a few built and tested that I can sell to time-nuts at the introductory 
price of $250 for units with LEA-6T receivers and $275 for units with LEA-M8T 
receivers.  My costs have gone up, so these prices are very time-limited.  If 
interested in more information or in purchasing please contact me OFFLINE at 
bob at evoria dot net.

Hi

While it may not be the only parameter worth considering: 

The standard deviation of the delta between adjacent pps outputs goes down to 
below 500 ps on the LEA-6T when sawtooth is applied.

Fellow time nuts,

Here in the US, a new six-part TV series on National Geographic / PBS starts next 
Wednesday, May 18th, 2016. The title is "Genius by Stephen Hawking" and episode 
1 is: Can We Time Travel?

Having not seen it yet, I can't make a promise of its "SNR" (Science to 
Nonsense Ratio). It might be quite educational, or at least, very entertaining. And I'm 
definitely going to watch it with my family.

So why do I mention this?

Well, I spent most of December 2015 and January 2016 working with the UK-based 
producers of the show -- in order to pull off another Einstein 100th 
anniversary, general relativity, cesium atomic clock, gravitational time 
dilation experiment. The location chosen was 9000+ foot Mt Lemmon, near Tucson, 
Arizona.

The Hawking series covers a wide variety of topics, and this atomic clock bit 
is just one very small part. They were inspired by the DIY experiment I did ( 
http://leapsecond.com/great2005/tour/ ) and they wanted to create and film 
something similar. So I offered to help. Scenes with (me? and) my 5071A cesium 
clocks and hp 53132A / SR620 time interval counters are in episode 1.

Did you also control for temperature ?

Air pressure, in particular at high relative humidities changes the
thermal properties of air so there is bound to be some cross coupling
were temperature sensitivities appear as pressure sensitivity.

Did you notice or calculate any time delay/offset in the correlation 
between your pressure data and the frequency data? That is, anything much 
larger than the 10 minute interval of your data, say, on the order of an 
hour. 

Whether there is a time delay or not may help point to the actual 
mechanism causing the frequency change.

I have one in which I put an OCXO and required snipping/removing a

Perhaps some where sold with OCXO only and never had an onboard timebase

I guess the variations of near endless.

Totally disabling the internal reference was a *very* common thing to do on the 
5335. It often 
became a war of switching things back and forth (for various odd reasons). In 
some factories 
the ultimate “disable” approach was pretty drastic.

Hi Wulf,

This is my first contribution to the Time-Nut list, but I am a follower for 
several years.
I have made 30 days phase difference measurements of an HP5065a versus a 
modified Thunderbolt GPSDO (got a MV180 oscillator) with a Fluke PM6681,
and recorded the results with Timelap. Starting signal of the PM6681 was the 
5MHz of the HP5065A, stop signal the 10MHz from the Thunderbolt. A single
measurement was triggered once a second from the PPS of the TB.
I also have a weather station at 6 km distance away, which records barometric 
pressure at time intervals of 10 minutes. Out from these measurements, I divided
my phase measurements into 10 minute intervals, calculated the 10 min average 
frequencies and made a linear regression with the 10 minute pressure 
measurements.
I got a slope of 3.86E-14/hPa frequency difference versus pressure.


Interesting!


Then I corrected the original 10 min average frequency measurements with the 
result from the linear regression and imported the original and the corrected
datasets into Timelap.
The influence of the barometric pressure to the ADEV for long time intervals is 
shown in the picture.
Just for fun, to render the pressure sensitivity visible for the human eye, I 
removed the noise of the GPSDO by generating a plot of overlapping 1 day
frequency averages in 10 minute time intervals. On the second picture you can 
compare it with the 10minute pressure data from the weather station. I think,
it is quite impressive. The calculated slope out of these overlapping averages 
was with 3.74e-14/hPa a little bit different compared with the non overlapping 
dataset.


Now, after the fact fitting of curve has a drawback in that you can make 
the fit as really good but there you measure the reference, hence you 
have a closed loop. The challenge now is to use a feed-forward scheme to 
take the measures from the pressure and use to adjust the C-field of the 
5065 and then measure against the Thunderbolt. I would guess it won't be 
exactly the same, not as good, but it will be then the actual performance.

to work with the regulator oscillator.  Page 2-4 of the Operating and Service 
Manual (05335-90021) details the instructions for installing the Option 010, 
the 10811 OCXO.  Instruction "c" is below.  You'd need to add the jumper back 
in.  The factory jumper looks like a resistor.  It may simply be cut with side 
cutters on your unit.  You can use just a piece of wire, of course.

[time-nuts] Last Call Group Buy Ublox LEA-6T

2016-05-18 Thread Mark Sims
There is what looks like a decent carrier board for Ublox modules on 
OSHPARK.COM's shared project library.  It has a voltage regulator and RS-232 
interface on it... would be nicer if it had a prototype area and swoopty PPS 
driver,  but I'm too lazy to lay out a better one.  Three boards will cost you 
$30.

I'm in the process of teaching Lady Heather to speak Motorola and Ublox binary 
and standard NMEA.  Things are going well, but I only currently have a NEO-6M 
Ublox receiver, Motorola UT+ and M12+.   So these 6T modules came up at the 
right time...  and won't set me back $130+ for a 6T eval board.
