Dear Masamichi-san,
thanks so much for the information.
The DTS series uses an internal Vectron 100MHz OCXO with very low jitter
specs (<3ps). This OCXO is connected with an SMA-to-SMA cable to the backplane
PCB, so it would be very easy to feed an external 100MHz signal into the unit
by drilling two holes, and adding an external feedthrough of the 100MHz
signal...
I bought one DTS-2050 on Ebay for <$1000, sometimes you can get really good
deals.
BTW: I have one spare Vectron 100MHz model 224-8647-1 oscillator from a
DTS-2070C if anyone is in need of one.
I called Wavecrest, and they want several 1000's of $$ for the GigaView
software; all I am looking for is a way to get the time measurements into a text
file to use i.e. Tom's Allan Deviation command line tools etc.
I guess I will have to write a GPIB driver myself once I find some time :)
Also, do you know what the serial port on the unit is used for? I can't find
any info if it can be used to control the unit. Using the serial port I
could save myself the money for a GPIB PCI card...
Will check out the HP5372A's now.
Thanks,
Bye,
S.J.
