On the other hand it is the measure we can measure with the highest accuracy of all measures and still we know it is being affected by a number of things (relative theory). When we measure those GPS (and GLONASS) satelites we actually have a compensation for the relative theory, since the gravity force difference causes a different time-rate, the satelite is tuned a thad low since when they get up that will be just right. > No criticism intended - I have enjoyed and learned from your postings. No criticism sensed, rather some food for thought. Thanks for the kind words! BTW. I was just down in the lab checking the readings during the night, and it keeps running smoothly. I need to log this beast from my servers rather than having my laptop locked up to it. Ah well. In the same fashion I'm planning to have my APC UPS (I only need to solder the cable) and my Z3801 hooked up (using a propper cable). But then I've run out of serial ports, so I need to get one of those USB serial port dongles. I have some of the old and nasty serial boards, but I don't want to fiddle around with it. I have some old PCI cards with an FPGA in it, that might be just the right thing.
