Pete You know that is odd in the fact that the earliest pix of the oven shows 0. Either its really 0 or seriously hot as the meter drives towards 0 from 50 when cold. Typically lands about 30. On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 9:12 AM, paul swed wrote: > Pete just maybe the oven controller card went. >

I shouldn't even be working on it my new tool box is still wrapped in corrugated and is waiting for somebody to finish it. But I'm going nuts I have to work on something so if I'm going nuts why not go time nuts :-) On Fri, Jun 29, 2018, 8:35 AM paul swed wrote: > Pete > You know that is odd in

Maybe I am missing something obvious here but after using the 1PPS/10MHz reference multiplied up to 100 MHz cant you just insert a passive L/C phase shift network at the input (or output) of the multiplier chain and tune one of the "C" legs in the phase shift network to align the  edges

Hello, My colleague Steve asked a question about wanting to generate a 10 MHz and 100 MHz squarewaves with both rising edges aligned to a reference 1 pps input (to within 5ns). We already have a product that can do this (at 10 MHz), but it is very complicated, and Steve's job is to fine an

Pete just maybe the oven controller card went. It would also effect the ionizer and that might explain the I beam jump in the last seconds. S the fact that the i beam went up may indicate there are some C's in reserve. On Frankenstein I built a new oven controller DC powered and run the tube C
