[time-nuts] Driving clocks from 1pps

[Mark Sims]

I found a nice wall clock that somebody had tossed in the trash because the battery leaked.  Now to pimp it out time-nuts style:

1)  Take 1 Tektronix AFG5101 Arbitrary Function Generator.
2)  Configure (1) for external clock
3)  Take one PTB-500 10 MHz Rubidium Frequency Standard.
4)  Divide 10 MHz down to 4 MHz for the AFG5101
5) Install (1) (2) (3) and (4) into a TM5006 equipment rack.  Connect to UPS power supply.
6) Program AFG5101 for bipolar clock drive waveform
7) Connect AFG5101 output to clock stepper
8) Voila,  cheap and dirty accurate wall clock  ;-)
