2007-11-22 Thread corby d dawson
Tim, It sound like your unit is locked. Power it off for 15 minutes and then monitor the Xtal control when powering back up. It should sweep from about 2 volts to 15 volts. Within 10 minutes it should stop sweeping indicating a lock. After being locked for a few hours adjust the Xtal trim cap

Corby gave you good information. Probably you need to monitor the resistance to ground on the lock signal for low (mine was about 140 ohms) when locked. In the manual referenced below, it looks like the lock output is pulled up to +17V so you *would* see a voltage change if yours had that

Bruce, I have some 4 terminal current sense resistors at work, but they are very low values (0.1 ohm and lower), so what I may gain at the sensor I may loose in the amplifier. Right now, the 1 ohm resistor and OP-27 give a voltage that is way out of the noise, as the curve shows. If I can find

Hi, the current temperature relationship should be nearly linear, so if 100mA is needed at 20 C ambient and it follows that at 80 C no heating is required, then the heating current will decrease at about 1.7mA/K. cheers, Neville Michie On 23/11/2007, at 9:33 AM, Didier Juges wrote: Bruce,
