[time-nuts] FW: E5500 phase noise test set

[Adrian]

The link didn't work, so I searched for PCI20428 and found this:

Worst case you can buy a break-out box:

I'm not affiliated with them.

Recently I saw that adapter on ePay, but I don't remember the seller, so 
that is probably of no help, I'm afraid.

Btw. do you have the system software?

The HP system description may help. Otherwise you will have to get someone with the adaptor to do a continuity check on it. Or play a guessing game. Put a 'scope on the main unit and see it it has analogue or TTL signals and start from there.
