Surely its easier to measure the duty cycle of the 74AC86 by analog low pass filtering it and using an ADC to measure the output of the (buffered( analog low pass filter? Bruce Roberto Barrios wrote: Sorry, the links were obviously wrong: http://www.rbarrios.com/public/_MG_6553.jpg http://ww

[time-nuts] How to detect PLL lock

2010-11-06 Thread Roberto Barrios
Hello, I’ve built a James Miller style GPSD with a Rockwell Jupiter, 74AC86 as phase detector and Isotemp OCXO. Division from 10Mhz to 10kHz is done with a 12F675 PIC that also outputs other frequencies and I also included a 16F88 that gives information as OCXO oven info and various GPS status

There is an EEPROM that can be used to store parameter such as the initial DAC voltage, position, etc. but it's not automatic. Have you explicitly saved the position (or auto stored it) after the survey is complete? If you don't do this then it will have to do a survey on every startup and that

[time-nuts] Thunderbolt 10MHz

2010-11-06 Thread David Hopkins
Gentlemen, A question on the Thunderbolt. Lately every time I turn the Thunderbolt off and then on again I have to do a cold reset. It then takes about 10-20 minutes before it is fully operational again. This is most unsatisfactory. Its almost as if its lost most of its settings. Is there so
