[time-nuts] Function generator

2008-06-30 Thread Jim Palfreyman
Well I've scored a nice 5370B and now I'm thinking of a function generator that is better than I have now. What's most important (apart from generating the usual shapes) is a reference frequency input. Whilst the HP 3325A/B (what's the difference?) looks good and would match perfectly, I'd

The HP 33120A goes up to 15MHz, and can be uploaded with data to make any arbitrary waveshape you can imagine. If it doesn't come with it, a small customer-installable upgrade board can be added to lock to an external reference. The 33220A is the current model, which runs up to 20MHz. They

One problem with the HP3325 is the max frequency of the triangle and ramp waves is rather low (10 KHz). Ebay item 290241023737 is a 3325A with a rubidium timebase. If you can do with sine and square waves, the FEI-5650A and 5680A rubidium oscillators can be made into nice stable sources

Hi, The tube is in a vacuum so the ovens heat only has roundabout physical paths to get to the outer case. If the tube feels warm at all at both ends the oven and hotwire are probably working OK. If you have a T type thermocouple temperature meter you can connect it to the copper and silver

Also, check the Cs oven meter reading. If it's zero, the heater controller/heater/thermocouple is suspect. Normally, when you turn the unit on, the Cs oven will read up near the top of scale, gradually declining as the oven warms up. Mine goes down to about 10 steady-state. If it's doing this,

Does anybody have their Thunderbolt working directly with ntpd? It's working now. I haven't sorted out what I did wrong, but it was some type of operator error. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam. ___
