Next week the VLBI community is having another TOW (Technical Operations Workshop) at the Haystack Observatory NW of Boston. The audience for the TOW is mainly the technicians at each site who drive the telescopes and keep the hardware running. VLBI is crucially dependent on timing and every station is equipped with at least one Hydrogen Maser. As usual, I have been tapped as the timing "teacher".
My PowerPoint class notes "Timing for VLBI" are now posted available on http://gpstime.com/. These notes include some fairly recent data on how well the new real-time "de-sawtooth" hardware in Rick's CNS Clock II works as compared with the software correction we have been using for many years (the two agree to 300 psec RMS now that we learned how to "tune" the programmable delay line). 73, Tom _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
