Since you asked, I believe the TimePod is around $5000. An excellent value for anyone serious about time and freq. I was lucky enough to meet John recently at the NIST Time and Freq Seminar and he is a very approachable you should give him a call if you are interested. Thomas Knox 1-303-554-030

Fellow time-nuts, As you know, I spent last week in Boulder. NIST T&F seminar, fellow time-nuts and much fun. I also picked up my TimePod out of the hands of no other than John Miles himself. Being sleep deprived from the travel, progress have been slow, but I have now come to the point wher

Hui, The older instruments have a very simple command structure. You don't need the "?" to query. Typically just doing a GPIB Read command (ibread for NI controllers) will address the counter to output and it will send the current reading. This can cause a problem if you request data too soon
