As far as I can tell by looking at the release notes and the settings
in Timelab itself, none of the Racal-Dana counters are directly
supported which is unfortunate because my best counter is a 1992 that
I rebuilt.
Timelab and the Racal-Dana 1991/1992 both support talk only mode
though so maybe th

I have the USB/GPIB Prologix thingy also.
My Racal 1992 on "talk" mode just sends the
readings down the wire. I can collect them
with regular serial port work on the PC side.
I don't really understand GPIB or "talk" mode.
But the readings show up on my serial port.

John's fine TimeLab of course!

Just don't ask me which Racal counter is or isn't supported.

Thanks, John and everyone else who responded. I should have known John

The most expensive part of the setup is the interface card between the
PC and GPIB.
Next you will need GPIB cables.
A free GPIB package is available for 32 bit Linux. I use it to talk to
my Racal-Dana 1992,
spectrum analyzers, selective voltmeter, and signal generator. You have

Yes, there is software out there. Others would best comment.
My indirect approach is different.
I take the unknown RF signal into my RX converter with a GPS/DO
stabilized LO,
then the IF into a RX with a stable LO, and take the audio out to a
computer soundcard and use ARGO software
to displa

drifts over time of different versions of the oscillator from a cold
start. I have Racal 1992 and -hp- 5345 counters available, themselves
driven from gps.
