Dear group, I'm a newbie here, so please bear with me.
I'm about to buy a FEI 5680A Rubidium frequency standard off ebay. From what I've gathered, these units were used in the telco industry for about 10 years, but are still useable for my needs. I wish to have a reasonably good frequency standard for calibrating test equipment (scope calibrators, function generators, etc), say every 6 months or once a year. For such use I really don't need extreme stability/accuracy. Only hope is that the physics part isn't completely dead. These units typically only produce a 1pps signal, but have the capacity to produce the classical 10 MHz sine wave. I've found a number of documents explaining how to have the 10 MHz produced by these versions. Two of them give consistent informations and seem to be sufficiently documented to be of real value. Drop me a mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you feel posting the files could help someone. I don't know how to post files so that readers of this list can access them. Anyway, I'll postpone distributing the files at large until I check by myself their contents is useful.
