2019-10-31 Thread gandalfg8--- via time-nuts
I have an HP 5370A Time interval Counter fitted with John Seamons' replacement processor board which cost me a total of approx 350GBP in 2015. I also still have the original processor board. This has seen very little use since then and due to a variety of health issues is unlikely to do so in

Emmanouil It sounds like you are very lucky to have obtained a working CS reference. I speculate it may be set for a different time scale. There is usually a setting that can be adjusted. Check the manual. That may be the harder item to find. Good luck. The other thing I have run into at least on
