Re: [time-nuts] Getting Started in High Precision Timing
Hi Not to mention the link on the page to Stable-32, which is a very nice piece of software.

Matt, Yes I'm sure many on this list have large collections information but you would need to be very specific to receive an answer, make, model, and which spec. Several projects can be found in the list archives for dividing the oxco rate to the PPS rate. Check the TAPR web site for a TADD-2 PPS divider. In general you accumulate all sorts of lab grade test equipment or make your own equipment to measure the output. The catch 22 is you need a better reference to measure a unknown device. Most start with GPSDO and a Time Interval Counter / Frequency Counter a way to log your data to process on a computer is good unless you want to go old school with pen and paper and stop watch ;-) Stanley ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
