It has nothing to do with throwing off atoms. A Xtal is actually a
This only happens in very low quality crystals that have impurities on
the surface.
Going in the other direction, the mechanical resonant frequency
changes with time because, as the xtal vibrates, microscopic cracks
Hello,
I have a couple of these interesting shaped oscillators
and was wondering if anyone has a manual, specs, or even
just the pinout of the 25 pin D connector. I'd like to
fire one up and see how it does.
I'm new to this list. By way of introduction, I'm
inexplicably interested in old HP
Hi,
