[time-nuts] FEI FE-5680A

[Bob Camp]

Hi

If it's the same magic gift as I got - some of them have a very unusual
smell. It sort of makes you wonder where this stuff may have been stored. 

If you have one of the "hand converted" ones that puts out 10 MHz you might
consider an internal inspection. You can figure out if it's modified by the
location of the SMA. The FEI drawing shows a different location for the SMA
than the seller uses when he tacks in the output wire after the fact.

Fellow time-nuts,

I am a curious mind, which should come as no big supprise, and I know 
that lots of people have looked deeply into these devices before me.

So, first of all I wonder, what other commands than S<Cr> and F=<32-bit 
hex number><Cr> is there? Anything fun? Anything useful? Anything booring?

Second, anything I should keep in mind as I power one up?

Mine came with a little extra-gift. Need to take a photo of that. Very 
neat. :)

Cheers,
Magnus
