[time-nuts] Tbolt instability

[Mark Sims]

A lot depends upon the temperature sensor in the Tbolt.    Dallas Semi changed the guts of the sensor ship in such a way that the Tbolt can only get 1 degree resolution out of it.   Later production Tbolts all have that sensor.  Does your Tbolt show a mostly flat line temp curve with coarse,  step-like transitions or one that tracks the temperature rather finely?   When you hit the thing with the hot air,  what did the temperature plot do?

Also,  the temperature sensor would do no good inside the OCXO (there is already one in there).  The Tbolt temperature sensor is used to compensate the unit for temperature effects on the unit as a complete system.   It is also used for environmental alarms, etc.
