Versions of these oscillators prior to firmware version 1.96 had a user programmable DDS in them that could generate up to 20 MHz on pin 11 of the DB25 connector. All references to the commands to program this output have been removed from the current documentation. Does anybody have any

2017-12-10 Thread iovane--- via time-nuts
This puzzled me since yesterday as I discovered how the suspension of pendulum clocks is made, that is a springy plate. I thought that: -the suspension point (i.e. the point the pendulum moves about) cannot be considered fixed, -following the above, the lenght of the pendulum varies during a

A 30 cm daily vertical offset is pretty typical. I've seen over 45 cm. Horizontal offsets are usually less than +/- 75 mm per day with the longitude displacement typically twice the latitude displacement. Heather uses a standard model (see http://geodesyworld.github.io/SOFTS/solid.htm) to

Checkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide According to that, a foot of motion is easily plausible. The Wiki article says that displacements around a meter in the solid crust can be seen over the right intervals. This must wreak havoc in VLBI geodesy work, except that for some in the

Hi, Recommended reading relating to this is the acoustical and audio engineering material. "Acoustical Engineering" by Harry F. Olson is a really good book. I covers many of the theory work on speakers etc. and uses electrical models and ways to estimtate their effects. This book I have
