Hi The basic input to ADEV is phase. That’s nice, but it’s not how a lot of people think about “frequency” sources. We get taught that phase modulation and frequency modulation are two different things. After they finish with that there is a little footnote somewhere that says “but the really

I just noticed that I skipped a step in my write-up. Adev1 doesn't like the "TI =" in each line of the data file. A better approach is: > perl -p -e 's/.*=//g' datafile.txt | ./adev1 1 ** Sampling period: 1 s ** Phase data scale factor: 1.000e+00 ** Total phase samples: 70397 ** Normal and Overl

Thank you everyone for responding to my plea for help doing data collection with an HP5370B. Let me post my progress so far. These techniques may be obvious to the experts here, but I think the guide will help novices like me. This is for the HP5370B with John Seamon's Beaglebone modification, htt

The manual reports that the 5370 is SRQ capable but no example is given. Anyway, the operation is the serial_poll and read_status_byte sequence, when the status byte reports the error 0, then a measurement is complete and the result can be read. How to implement the SRQ management depends on your G

Usually it is possible to trigger an SRQ after a measurement is completed. I'll have to read the manual for the details on how to implement this procedure. On Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 10:31 PM, Hal Murray wrote: > > paul.alfi...@gmail.com said: >> While I can see single measurements either with the Be

I am stymied by what should be a simple task: I'd like to gather sequential measurements from my HP5370B. I have two of them, one with the Beaglebone mod and one straight GPIB. I'm running linux and have a Beiming HP GPIB->USB device. While I can see single measurements either with the Beaglebone
