Sigh. Reading the pinning incorrect numerous times prohibited me from 
observing the obvious... that the Continous Operation lamp is out... :P

Thus I've been spending quite some time in vane... ah well. I know this 
beast better now.

Managed to tune the multiplier up.

So, lids on and just a stable measurement before lifting it off the 
table and see what other rubidium I will play with for the rest of the 
evening.

Will need to hook up an ADEV rig again.

Cheers,
Magnus
