I bought a manual from them a couple of years ago but on checking their website www.datachroninc.com it appears that the domain name is for sale. They lasted a long time but it looks like they've gone... Regarding IRIG, there are several different flavours - IRIG A, B, C etc all with different

There is a 44 pin chip that seems to have had a pin broken off. In my attempts to short this to an already mangled chip socket, I managed to let some smoke out. Oh well, now I have a pretty metal paperweight that I may convert over to using NMEA signals from a gps. Thanks guys, -Bob On Thu, Ju

The only jumper I could see is on the display board. It appears to just be a segment test. I verified that it's running at 1kHz modulation against a frequency synthesizer on the scope. Amplitudes look fine. I tried everything from about 0.1 V peak to peak to about 5 volts peak to peak. I'll kee

I'm 99% sure. What I see on the scope looks like what I see in the spec. AM modulated signal, but I didn't actually verify the timings yet. I figured that even if I was off a bit, that *something* should change on the display. Maybe this is a poor assumption. I'm off to find a jumper... -Bob

Are you sure you are really feeding it IRIG-B? You might try looking at your TC signal with a 'scope and seeing if it meets the IRIG spec. Such a test would bisect the problem. FWIW, -John == > Hi guys, > > What happened to Datachron? I'm trying to dig up a manual for an IRIG-B > displ

Poul, Regarding Clicklock. Yes, in a sense Clicklock is a lock-in amplifier. However the really special thing is that it completely compensates (within reason) for the drift in ALL the oscillators in your receiver and/or converter, so that it becomes GPS locked. It does this by comparing the phase
