[time-nuts] FE-5680A dumb question...

[gonzo .]

Hi Brian.
Taking the list concensus and confirming it on my recently arrived '5680A, the pinout is as follows:

1. +15V  (1500mA cold: 800mA hot)
2. Gnd
3. Rb Lock (lock = low)
4. +5V  (~85mA)
5. Gnd
6. 1PPS  (high until Rb Lock goes low)
7. 10Mhz
8. RS323-RX
9. RS232-TX

These pinouts are not consistant across the FE-5680A range, but seems good for the 'current batch' of cheap units coming out of china.

Cheers,
ian
