2013-10-26 Thread David Hooke
Folks, I recently powered up an E1938 oscillator, and connected NGOComm to examine its inner workings. The oven had been set to 75dC (fixed using the ramp function), and I'd like to check all of the other settings in case these have been changed as well. Can anyone enlighten me? I'd like

Perrier, I think that I would take a well-working 10811 over the E1938A. I've got a handful of both, one even came inside a Z3815A and all of the 10811 units are better than all of the 1938's for unknown reasons. The 1938A is quite a bit more stable over temp in general though I think, but

Maybe the supporting board of the E1938A stores calibration constants... On Fri, Jul 5, 2013 at 11:00 AM, Bruce Griffiths bruce.griffi...@xtra.co.nz wrote: Magnus Danielson wrote: Hi Perry, On 07/05/2013 07:23 AM, Perry Sandeen wrote: List, I was looking on Ebay for some HP E1938A

Graham, the answer is here: http://www.prc68.com/I/HPE1938.shtml I strongly recommend to read Rick's publications. And, there is a control software for changing control parameters etc. The other link which has been posted before: http://www.leapsecond.com/museum/e1938a/ It includes a connector
