[time-nuts] AVR PPSDIV

2008-09-06 Thread Ulrich Bangert
Gentlemen, you all know Tom Van Baak's PPSDIV project in that a PIC microcontroller acts as an sychronous frequency divider and generates a bunch of output frequencies from a single 10 MHz input with an 1 PPS among it. I have translated this project into the AVR world of microcontrollers and at

[time-nuts] 5371A problem

2008-09-06 Thread wje
I have a problem with my HP 5371A. Fairly often, when I display samples in one of the graph modes, the graph is displayed properly, but then a number of horizontal lines show up composed of semi-regularly-spaced dots. Typically the rows will be spaced about 1/5 of the vertical size apart.

[time-nuts] Browsing Searching the Time Nuts Mailing List

Hi, I am new to the time nuts mailing list and I have one question. How do I search the mail list archives for a specific topic or keyword? It appears that I have to search each month's archive, which is terribly time consuming. I want to search the entire archive at one time. Is there a way

What have you tried so far? Using Google, as already mentioned, is one option. You can download the monthly archives, then use grep or whatever you like to search. You may want to search the current month separately. Gary Myers, Charlie wrote: Hi, I am new to the time nuts mailing list

[time-nuts] 5371A problem

2008-09-06 Thread Mark Sims
It may be related to video not being blanked properly during the vertical retrace on the CRT... particularly if the dots on each row seem to be regularly aligned (either vertically or most likely skewed). If the vertical retrace signal lasts for five horizontal scan line times, you would

The dot are aligned horizontally, only a single scan line per set of dots. However, this only shows up in graph mode, not in any other display. The dots are actually in memory. If I plot the graph, they show up in the plot also. Bill Ezell -- They said 'Windows or better' so I used

I don't think so. Not only is this not documented in the manual, the lines aren't complete. There tend to be missing pixels; sometimes there are only a few pixels in a line. But, the lines are always horizontal, and typically occur every 1/4 to 1/6 or so of the vertical span, but
