Re: [time-nuts] Vintage Quartz Crystal Manufacturing

Hi It’s interesting how much controversy that film stirred up. Literally 30 years after it was made, you could get a fairly excited conversation going about it at the FCS. On one side were the people who felt it was a sweetheart deal to Reves at a point that other companies were being

Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO

I also wanted to mention that I can't get the Lucent to communicate at all with the TBoltMon program so that's why I decided to try LadyHeather. I do hope I connected the cable pins right, I connected Lucent RS 422 TX pins to the USB to 422 adapters RX pins and the Lucent 422 RX pins to the

Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO- Lady Heather question-having issues

Hi, I downloaded the latest version 4.00 beta of lady Heather on my win XP laptop. Installation creates two icons on my desktop. One says KE5FX TBolt (Seattle USA) and has the lady Heather icon and the other has the icon and simply says Lady Heather. When I try and open the Lady Heather icon

Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO- Lady Heather question-having issues

Hi In Windows, the icon on the desktop has a set of properties. One of those is the command that clicking the icon executes. Adding the appropriate com info there will get it headed to the correct port. Bob > On Sep 24, 2016, at 1:30 PM, Chris Waldrup wrote: > > Hi, > >

Chris, Right click on the Lady Heather icon (not the KE5FX one). At the bottom of the list, click on "Properties". You will see a number of tabs. Click on the "Shortcut" tab. In the "Target" text box you should see "C:\Heather\heather.exe" if you installed LH on the C: drive. If that is the

Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO- Lady Heather question-having issues

Chris, Your GPSDO has a Bps, stop bit, and parity setting. That has to match the COM6 settings. If you know the default, or current, port setting for the GPSDO then you need to go into Windows Device Manager and set COM6 to use the same characteristics. To check/set the COM6 port

Version 4.0 does not work with anything but TSIP (Trimble) type receivers. The next release (v 4.10?) will work with all sorts of receivers. It will also compile for Windows, Linux, and now macOS (aka OS/X) (using XQuartz as the X11 server). If you can compile a Linux C program, macOS

Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO- Lady Heather question-having issues

Fantastic thanks for the help guys!! I now have LH seeing com 6. Is it possible to check/change the baud rate of LH? When I connect up the Lucent box it says "No COM6 serial port data seen". I exited LH and opened Hyper terminal and with 9600 baud and COM6 I am getting a data stream that stops

I forgot to mention that you can also configure Lady Heather by editing the heather.cfg file. You can place the command line options that you want to use, one per line, in this file. The options must start in column 1 and begin with a '/' or '-', otherwise they will be considered as

Re: [time-nuts] Vintage Quartz Crystal Manufacturing

I watched this video totally in awe at how much "hands-on" processing was required. I am not sure what I thought before, but I suppose this level of work was done for most every technical thing back then. I really got a huge kick out of seeing every step of the process. I was also in awe of
