[time-nuts] Looking for HP105B addendum for HP11801 oscillator upgrade

2020-03-06 Thread Taka Kamiya via time-nuts
I have an HP105B with a newer HP11801 oscillator.  When switching to OVEN position, meter goes to full scale and stays there forever.  It has been over a week this way.  Also, the frequency is unstable.  According to archive, this particular update was never a part of the main manual but was

I have not looked at the manual but it could be as simple as plugging a Prologix GPIB-USB controller and using John Miles' GPIB Toolkit control software to send just the right command. I would not call that programming but it would involve reading the manual... :) Both tools are well documented

Thank you!  I just downloaded it, and that is what I was looking for.  My HP105B is showing strange symptom. OVEN meter reading is always at full scale and frequency tends to wander.  This will certainly help.  Thank you again. --- (Mr.) Taka Kamiya KB4EMF

I just got a 2020 car which offers to sync the clock on the instrument panel to the GPS receiver. But the time zone and observance of DST must be set manually. In principle, if the position is known, the time zone and DST can be looked up. But since the software in the car is not routinely

Since the borders are political rather than purely geographical, the obvious answer is to put the data in the GPS receiver's map database. It has both the relevant borderlines and the most frequent update strategy. On Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 6:36 PM Steve Allen wrote: > On Fri

This is really shouldn’t be an issue. Many car manufacturers are leveraging and improving already existing cellular data systems in their cars to provide software and firmware updates over the air. I suspect the issue is more the long supply chain lead times…there is a several year lag between

I still maintain that if people want another hour in the evening, they can get up an hour earlier.  Why do they think they need to change the clocks?  Some people just can't deal with reality and need someone else to make their decisions for them.  OK, I will step off my soapbox now.  :-)

Sadly, there's a substantial part of the British public that wants us to change to DST and double-DST. So we might end up with Greenwich not being on GMT. On Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 4:12 PM David Van Horn via time-nuts < time-nuts@lists.febo.com> wrote: > GMT EVERYWHERE!! > > -- > David VanHorn >

Hello Perrier, I'm also a bit confused, what your requirements, and what your capabilities are. The HP5335A definitely can handle gate times up to 10^7 seconds, that means, it can resolve maximum to about 10^-16 internally. But it only outputs the first relevant 11 digits, either on its
