[time-nuts] Allan Deviation -> more data: GPS 1PPS against OCXO/128

[Didier Juges]

Ulrich,

Is there a way to insert comment lines in the data file that will not 
confuse plotter?
My logging program creates a header with useful information to record 
how the data was collected, but it messes up Plotter of course.

Thanks

I have made a run over night of the 10 MHz OCXO divided by 128 against 
my Jupiter receiver's 1 PPS output, open loop.

I think the data makes more sense :-) but I need help figuring out if 
it's good/useful or not. There are some strange jumps in the phase plot, 
which is otherwise very clean.

1PPS was fed to START and 78.125 kHz was fed to STOP. The 5370A was set 
to TI, 1 sample, +TI only, and the data was collected at 1 sec 
intervals, no averaging. There may have been a few samples missed since 
the PC was collecting data based on its own 1 sec clock, which may or 
may not have been quite the same thing as the GPS 1 PPS. I am not sure 
of the effect of that. I may have missed some samples.

Since it was done open loop, and everything only had an hour or so 
warmup before I started collecting data, there is an appreciable drift 
initially, and there was a phase jump of 1/78125 (12.8 uS), so I split 
the data file in two and analyzed them separately. Both files are on the 
web folder below, respectively  Counter_TI-10-27-part1.dat and 
Counter_TI-10-27-part2.dat respectively, with the related Plotter print 
screens.

Note: house heating/AC was turned off the entire night, so no strange 
thermal effects took place.

The data collection is continuing.
