Hi With any Rb, the first question is if the ovens are running and cutting back properly. There *should* be some sort of oven monitor settings on the switch. It’s a reasonable bet that < 1 hr is needed to get them to cut back. The gotcha is that if they don’t cut back you start to fry

[time-nuts] Help needed with Tracor 308A Rubidium Frequency Standard

2019-02-19 Thread Heinz Breuer via time-nuts
Hello to the group, out of an estate I got a Tracor 308A and plugged it in. As I already expected UNLOCK is lit. Well without any documentation I am lost. I hear a relay click every couple seconds and the uA meter starts at zero but current slowly increases and pegs the left stop (>50uA)

[time-nuts] Venus timing receiver PPS output

2019-02-19 Thread Mark Sims
I recently add the ability to Lady Heather to monitor a PPS output and apply sawtooth correction sto the measured PPS and log the results. The Venus timing receivers tout a PPS output with +/- 6 nsec PPS jitter and sawtooth corrections. Alas, the PPS output does not appear to meet this claim.
