It looks identical to my Agilent U1732B, thjough I think the Agilent's spec is poorer. It was replaced by a U1732C which may be closer thjough both are going back a way now. Presumably Agilent badged it and it has continued to improve. I don't know whether there's a corresponding Keysight version.

The Tonghui has arrived. It is ideal for measuring small RF components. It has a resolution of 100 microohms, 1 nanohenry and 0.001 picofarad. There is no need to buy Kelvin clips. It comes with a complete set, including SMD and ordinary multimeter clips. TH2822 series are equipped with the

Hi Markus, I've pasted output from some pmc GET commands below, along with show clock on the GM. Seems like the grandmaster is getting 37 from GPS, while announcing 35? Also not sure why TIME_PROPERTIES_DATA_SET has currentUtcOffsetValid and timeTraceable both set to true, but

Hi Andrew, have you checked the PTP-Messages themselves? There is a field currentUtcOffset in the PTP announce message used to transfer leapsecond info. If thats 35, then it seems like a firmware issue. Regards Markus Am 25.06.2022 um 10:30 schrieb Andrew Back via time-nuts: > Hoping that

Hi Hans-Georg, Maybe it is better to refer to this as the inverse of 20,48 GHz, since that is the virtual clock rate of the interpolated coarse-clock. Considering that it is 2048 * 10 MHz, it is not hard to imagine that a coarse clock of say 80 MHz is then interpolated by 256 to achieve that,
