I need some guidance from the collective. I just finished rebuilding my PRS10 lab standard and it is now using a M12+T GPS module. I have completed my site survey and it is now in hold position mode, TRAIM is enabled with 500ns alarm setting and the 1PPS is enabled during non-TRAIM alarm

You don't have a Cs reference but you have a GPS: in the long term it is the same. By using a TIC (your preferred: HP5370B, HP5372A, SR620, PM6680, PM6681, HP53132A, Racal 2351, Yokogawa TA720, PICTIC II, Wavecrest DTS275 [SIA3000?] and others) keep track of the GPS PPS vs. the PRS10 PPS. On Wed,

Magnus, you are correct but can I avoid to list our beloved counters/analyzers? The time-nut main tool is the TIC. Anyway, to correct the PPS input for the PRS10 the hardware approach is a must: so a delay line and a microprocessor are needed. Unless the SRS can develop a suitable software for the

Jerry, Magnus, Considering the M12+T PPS noise, you won't need anything stellar. A PICTIC II will do just fine... or if you trust the PRS-10 readings, run from that. What would make this better would to use a sawtooth-correction to PPS delay setup, as the PRS-10 measurement resolution will

The phase of the PPSOUT and the generated 10 MHz will probably not align up, something which is critical to some applications. Yes, for example the DVB-T SFN requires the PPS and 10MHz phases to be aligned, better, not to move. This requires to slightly alter the 10MHz to keep the PPS aligned.

Maybe the 10MHz and the PPS are not exactly aligned but you can see that the persistance of the 10MHzB (blue trace) is exactly the same of the PPS B (red trace), so they are absolutely consistent and perfectly linked together. On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:42 AM, b...@lysator.liu.se wrote: Yes,
