[time-nuts] HP 5370B Output Help Needed

[Perry Sandeen]

Distinguished Gents,

As soon as I get my replacement GPS hockey puck antennas, and get my Lucent GPS receivers going I want to get into some serious testing and calibration of my rubidium and Xtal oscillators.  I plan to run two GPS receivers independently into two 5370B TICs simultaneously for cross-checking the measurements.

Here are my problems.

I don’t know how to take data off of the HPIB connector on the back of the 5370B.

What I want to accomplish is to have the readings go into a computer and be graphed.
I don’t have the money to buy some fancy piece of interface equipment like Fluke1 on Ebay has and I have no ability to write any type of software program.

I also need a Dummies book or course on how to setup and do Allan variations.

I do have a dedicated computer that I can use for the project.

TIA for any help that can be given on or off line.

Regards,

Perrier
