[time-nuts] 50 and 60 Hz as frequency reference

2011-07-02 Thread Magnus Danielson
Dear time-nuts, This discussion of frequency of mains network makes me recall that my HP521C counter is built such that it uses the mains network as reference unless one has the high precision crystal option, a 100 kHz crystal divided down to 100 Hz. It uses the 50, 60 or 100 Hz signals to

[time-nuts] Precision Date/Time Calculations in MS SQL

Gentlemen, I'm building, with help from fellow timenut Richard McCorkle, a distributed cosmic-ray telescope to be run by students (elementary-college). Each of the instruments has a muon detector, a GPS receiver (Navsync CW12-TIM), and a timestamp generator designed by Richard, based on his

Here's the rub: when I use Microsoft SQL to convert an ASCII string to datetime, it does so only to a precision of a few microseconds (at least, that's what it seems like to me). So, when I add in the fractional seconds, the overall precision isn't good enough (it's off by MICROseconds, for

Tom, I've run into similar problems with time-stamps, in general. Here's how to think about it. A nanosecond is 9 decimal places, a second within a day is another 5 decimal places. A day within a couple of centuries takes another 5. So you are already at the precision of a 18-digit (53-bit)

Since we all know time is money, this will also work. But it's probably less efficient to store nanoseconds as if they were cents so I hope no one actually uses that decimal encoding. I don't know how many digits are allowed for the money type! G

To bad you have already selected the database system. It is alway best to think of requirements and then select parts the do what you need.I would have selected a DMBS that allows the user to define his own types and operators on those types. THen I'd define a type called Precision time that

Hi A relatively simple solution is to use the datetime field to do what it was originally supposed to do. Let it tag time to a second. Dump in your nanoseconds as a double indicating time since the start of the second. If at some point you need more precision, you have the room for it

Thanks a lot for the input. You guys gave me a lot of ideas to work from. The oscillator is an old 10MHz OCXO BVA(electrodeless quartz crystal) from BVA Industries with one second allan 1e-13 and -125dBc at 1Hz. So i want to do my best to keep that stability as good as possible at the other needed
