Re: [time-nuts] LH Z3801 and XP stalling

2016-12-15 Thread Chuck Harris
Sometimes, when one is doing a long run that goes past the usual power save times, the USB port will shut itself off. I believe that most motherboards have a setting in the BIOS that controls the ability of the BIOS to power the USB port down during quiet times. Perhaps that is what is happening?

Bob Took your advise and did check all of the caps in teh oscillator along with resistors. All are as they should be. Though they do differ from the schematic I have for the HP 10811. But thats normal reality on HP stuff. So it is a sick 10811. So at this stage I have jacked a external 10 MHz refer

I see that LH has a DAC command. Is there a place to look to see how to configure the command to reset a Z3801 to midscale? The bad 10 MHz hp 10811 caused it to drift to 99.999% FS. Thanks in advance. I am looking at mapping a Piezo into the old oscillator position I have one. Regards Paul WB8T

Letting the monitor sleep is usually OK. All my systems are set to do that. Letting the hard drive sleep is also usually OK, even if you are logging stuff to disk... the disk writes should make the OS aware that programs are using it and reset the timer (but then were talkin' Microsoft here..

Version 5 can write a "raw" receiver data capture log with the WY keyboard command. Heather has code for "un-doing" the temperature spikes from the Tbolt temperature sensor/firmware bugs. The "/tj" command line option control attempts to remove the spikes. "/tj" toggles the spike filter "/t

Hi If you *do* need to troubleshoot a weird temperature issue, there are dirt cheap USB thermometers out there. It’s a bit of a gamble on finding the one(s?) out of the batch that works right. When you get one that does work properly, they are quite adequate for tracking something like a 0.5 d

Hi Peter, I also have a T-Bolt monitored by LH5 but am not seeing any glitches like yours. No clear idea what may be the root cause, but from your screen dump all the metrics are affected so it is not likely to be just a failing temp sensor. Maybe something global such as power cleanliness.
