Hi

I've had the same thing happening with a Prologix Ethernet setup until
firmware 1.5.1.0.

Subject: [time-nuts] Glitches in data

I've got an HP 5334B collecting data via a Prologix USB setup.  It's
been 
running for months.

Mostly, it's doing what I expect.  But then I got 2 glitches in the last
two 
days.

Here is a graph:

Here is the raw data:

It's the 2.999... column.  The second column is seconds in the day day.
They 
are 5 minutes apart.

Does anybody have any suggestions for what is causing things like this?
Or a 
checklist of things I should consider?

Everything is plugged into the same outlet.  The OCXO is powered by a
wall 
wart.

I wasn't near it at either time.

My UPS didn't see any power glitches at either time.  (They are not
running 
off the UPS.  For this, I'm just using it to monitor power.)
