The Allan deviation seems to taper around e-10 at 1000 seconds, then it looks like it wants to keep getting lower. As a reminder, this is the HP10811 against the GPS receiver. I am not sure what I should expect? Didier PS: I am still planning to measure ambient temperature at the same time as I collect TI, via the GPIB, using a HP 3478A voltmeter and a thermistor. This way, I should be able to correlate frequency changes and temperature changes. I assume I can tell Plotter to ignore the temperature field or display it with its own scaling. Should I use a specific character as field delimiter? (such as a comma, or just spaces?) (In the short term, temperature data will be thermistor values, until I write the code to convert in degrees. ) Also, if I use time stamps, should I use field delimiter between the time stamp and the data? What is the time stamps are discontinuous (as if the laptop falls asleep again), will that mess up Plotter? _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
