Operating Manual

Operation

The srr.rrrr is a number from -99.9999 to +99.9999 microseconds per second. The number is frequency change from DAC = 00000 to 65535 of the unit. This number is used in the discipline algorithm to help compensate for oscillators with different frequency

Note: It is assumed that the DAC output and oscillator control are linear. If not, then the oscillator control range should be extrapolated from a subset of the control curve that is near zero frequency error.

Command Format:

Description:

Determines whether filtered rate or filter offset is returned in a status request. When x = 0, the extra data is not included. When x = 1, the extra data is included.

The response to the status command is changed to the following:

Frr.rrrrrr - Filtered rate in microseconds; rr.rrrrrr is the an average frequency rate error calculated internally by the unit. This is one of the values used by the program to determine the dynamic gain.

Oyyyyyy.yyy - Filtered offset in microseconds; yyyyyy.yyy is the an average time error calculated internally by the unit. This is one of the values used by the program to determine the dynamic gain.
