Hello Group, first time post I have just got my Odetics 365 working again after it being packed away for a few years. I have it connected to a HP 5386A frequency counter and am monitoring the 10 MHz output ( down to 0.01 Hz res ).
I am noticing the frequency is drifting about 1.5 to 2 Hz over the day and settling low for a few hours ( aprox midday ) and then settling high about 12 hours later. The 365 is showing TFOM4 and Time locked, has a GDOP of 3.68 and displays a frequency error of +2.98E-013 and a Std error of Est of 4.80E-008. The averaging is turned off and it "see's" 3 to 5 satellites continuously. My question is would this be normal behavior ( + or - 2 Hz ) for this type of equipment or is it looking like I have something that is drifting a bit ? Also would switching the averaging on help ? Any thoughts would be appreciated Group, Thanks and Cheers, Rob. _______________________________________________ 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.
