[time-nuts] Getting Started in High Precision Timing

[Matt Davis]

Hello all,
I have been a software hacker for years but have never really done too
much hardware hacking.  I have been looking at oxco modules, but the
data sheets of various vendors do not really provide me with a good
basis as to what such an oscillator would provide me.  I assume its
just oscillation given the given frequency.  Do any of you all have
any good links/resources aside from what a basic google would provide,
as to how to get the data from the oscillator at a pulse-per-second
rate allowing me to do some basic timing.  Really, I'm just looking
for some first steps in hacking on these high-precision oscillators.

Thanks

-Matt
