I'm glad you got it going, but wasn't the consensus of the list that SRS had terrible support on their old gear?
I like their arbitrary wabeform generators, but made a mental note to avoid SRS based on a post. I suppose I could have read it elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: Magnus Danielson <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:09:22 To: Time-Nuts<[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <[email protected]> Subject: [time-nuts] Stanford Research PRS-10 Fellow time-nuts, On monday I picked up my PRS-10 and on friday I picked up the break-out board, PSU and manual. So, today I got around to put the pieces together, with no luck, as it did not lock. After locating a serial cable and hooking up, I was able to start query the PRS-10, and got some hints to the fact that the RF oscillator was sitting in the extreme low of it's control voltage. Check around, I then looked at the SP? command to get the non-standard 65535,2190,23 reading, which when cross-checking with the Appendix A should read 3158,2190,23. A little moment after entering it, the rubidium locked up, jumped in frequency and felt happy. I then stored the new SP setting into the EEPROM using SP! and where able to verify that with the SP!?. I wonder if this was an EEPROM error or someone fooling around error. It ended up not delaying me all that much, but it could have confused me for much longer if I would have been less lucky. Anyway, I wanted to share my experience.
