I *think* that's the method posted by the seller of my unit and it's a modification requiring an extra chip to divide the 20MHz signal down. I am hoping to be able to re-enable the original 10MHz signal and use the original filter as fitted to the board. Still handy if you need 10MHz though. On

The 10MHz output comes from the XC9572 CPLD but the fact that it's there for a few seconds makes me thing it's possible to recover it, by fair means or foul. It's possible it's just a gate, certainly looks like it's bing switched off and there's a file which claims to be a dump of the CPLD (as wel

Hi There is no dump of the firmware. The problem you are most likely having is not firmware related. If the VCXO i the unit drifts to far it needs to be re-tuned. Until this is done the device simply sits in a “search for lock” loop forever and ever. Simple way to do it: Monitor the VCXO and b

I've recently purchased one of the PPS Only FE Rubidium standards from eBay and, like many others I suspect, haven't been able to get a stable output frequency that lasts longer than a few seconds from the module. It appears that the 10MHz source vanishes after a few seconds but this is controlled
