Your right, it is a bit small so I've managed to figure out how to get the bigger picture (attached). >From the help help file of the application" "Finally, graph mode presents a detailed graph of the EFC (electronic frequency control), TI (time interval value), PU (predicted uncertainty) and the number of satellites being tracked. The cursor readout indicates the time and date, and either the EFC or the TI corresponding to the location of the cursor. On typical Z3801A's, measurements confirm that 1 count of EFC is roughly equivalent to 1 part in ten to the twelve." The event seems to start at about 04:00 30/6/09 and is over at about 16:00 on 30/6/09. There is no indication that there was a complete loss of lock to the birds at that time and the number of sats looks no lower than at other times (OK it's not an ideal number of sats but my antenna is in a temp position at the moment and cannot see all of the sky). There is no actual loss of lock, it shows that the peak deviation at that time was about 35ns but obviously something changed to cause the EFC needing to track away from the "norm" to remain in lock. I think I spent most of that day in bed with the flu that's going on here so it was very quiet. We have been having a fair bit of rain here but it has been over many days, not just this Tuesday. Just thinking now, but these times are in UTC so that would represent about 4pm on Tuesday to 4am on Wednesday, again most of time in bed. 73, Steve > Cheers, > Magnus > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe, go to > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. > -- Steve Rooke - ZL3TUV & G8KVD & JAKDTTNW A man with one clock knows what time it is; A man with two clocks is never quite sure.
