Re: [time-nuts] hammond 77589

2013-01-16 Thread Jean-Louis Noel

Hi Ed,

From: Ed Breya e...@telight.com

I just noticed one more thing - if the NTC thermistor in the schematic 
is the actual one that senses the oven temperature, then the oscillator 
and bridge are one in the same. If this is the case, then the oscillator 
amplitude could be proportional to bridge imbalance - if the NTC is 
being balanced by the 1414 ohm resistor.


Yes, it is.
It works in AC at 315 Hz.

Thank you so much.

Bye,
Jean-Louis

Re: [time-nuts] noise of a 5370

2011-03-13 Thread Jean-Louis Noel

Hi,

From: Mike S mi...@flatsurface.com

Measuring the jitter of the unit's own clock isn't particularly useful or 
interesting for anything other than checking for proper operation.


I agree for the purpose, but the noise mesured is not only the clock noise.
It's the sum of all noises. Not only the clock, 200MHz multiplier and input
circuits but the whole chain is tested. The first three are surely the most 
noisiest.

[time-nuts] noise of a 5370

2011-03-12 Thread Jean-Louis Noel

Hi,

I have a question for you guys.

I am currently fixing a 5370B and when I check the internal noise I got
23.2pS I think it is a bit too much.

Could you check yours noise?

1) Connect a cable between the rear panel FREQ STD OUT to front panel START 
input connector

2) Set the input impedances at 50 ohms
3) Attenuator switches at /1
4) AC/DC switches to DC
5) Input slope switches to positive (high)
6) Level controls to preset
7) START COM
8) display rate fully clockwise
9) SAMPLE SIZE 10K
10) STATISTICS STD DEV

I got 23.2ps with 2ps unstability.
Is that OK?
Thanks for your help.

Jean-Louis

Could you check yours?


The manual says to expect jitter of 35 ps typical, 100 max. One of mine 
is ~30, the other ~20. 


Yes, I saw that!
But, where is the logical when your display starts at 100fS?

Nit pick: You need more than just a PPS to get time.  You also need something 
else to tell you which second a pulse corresponds to.  Most GPS units come 
with a serial port that does that.


Sure, but you don't need that information all the time and when it is online it 
can
synchronize with a stratum 1 server to know that information.
