[time-nuts] NS3kview Software for CW25 receiver

2014-05-30 Thread Martyn Smith
Hello, I’m using the NavSyncview software with the FTS125 GPS module. Is it possible to set the time readout on the NavSync software to a local time? I actually need UTC plus 8 hours. It’s at UTC and I cannot see any way of changing it. Best Regards Garry

[time-nuts] Caveats on Allan Deviation with ultra stable oscillators

2014-05-30 Thread cdelect
Hi, I usually don't use drift removal as I want to see the effects of drift! The effects of oscillators locking together are very apparent on both the phase and AD plots when using a DMTD system. There was no indications of such locking! My point was that if you are measuring ultrastable Quartz

What did NIST do with its Rubidium ensemble before they got the cesium fountain? Did they break one of the rubidiums off the ensemble, maybe in a different room with different HVAC, and look at the one vs many? Would that be useful for OCXO's, measuring one OCXO against an ensemble? Tim N3QE

Hi Rubidium ensemble? That would have been quite a while back. They have been running on long tube Cs standards for quite a while. Bob On May 30, 2014, at 2:03 PM, Tim Shoppa tsho...@gmail.com wrote: What did NIST do with its Rubidium ensemble before they got the cesium fountain? Did

Bob, The long tube Cs standard (NIST 7) is parked in the entrance. Too noisy to contribute much value. They have a bunch of 5071As and hydrogen masers. They live in individually temperature stabilized compartments. One typically is selected as the reference and then you measures differences.

[time-nuts] cheap GPS receiver (NavSpark) with timestamp feature

It seems there is some interest in an inexpensive GPS receiver with a timestamp feature. As far as I know, the recently released NavSpark ( http://navspark.mybigcommerce.com/ ) may be the least expensive such device available. It was a crowd-funded effort from an established small GNSS design
