Joe, The single-shot resolution of the Option 040 series input is 10 ns. The T.I. interval option adds jitter to make the averaging useful. If your PPS was instead a burst or a clock, comparing it to your clock would make more sense and you could use that higher resolution. If I had a GPIB in

Hello Time-Nuts, I have been playing with some Symmetricom SA.22c rubidium oscillators and wanted to pass on some of the interesting information that I have found. RDR Electronics has a large number of these units in stock. 1. These oscillators are pulls from telecom cards and are 15MHz when pull

Sorry for the simple questions. Old hands can simply ignore this message if it bothers you. I have an HP 5328A that I have pieced together from broken units. As soon as I make a ribbon cable for the GPIB card, I want to use it for T.I. measurements. I know it isn't nearly as good as a 5370, but it

Hello,   I would like to ask some advice about running TimeLab under Linux with Wine. The program starts well (at least I guess), but no RS232 interface is found in the acquire window. I tried the com port of my notebooks docking station, a PCMCIA to RS232 converter and 3 different USB to RS232

Martyn, In working with a 6T receiver we have noticed that sometimes the reported offset correction is not correct. These instances appear to be infrequent, and have only been noted as a single instance at a time. For example you will occasionally get a -10.2nS correction when you should get

Both the outputs (REF and OUT, pins 9 and 15) are affected by the jump or only the delayed one has the problem? Anyway it is strange that a device that can only delay a maximum of 100ns, suddenly goes into the milliseconds. The only millisecond time I see in the datasheet is the turn-on delay, so c
