By chance I have just today installed a recently acquired 10554 OCXO into my
HP 5334B Counter. Its has been running for 5 hours and is yet to
stabilize - my Manual suggest that 24 hours is the required time. Despite
reading the manual, I cannot see any reference to the change over from the
"low grade" inbuilt oscillator - is this automatic or does it require a
jumper alteration. I seem to recall that Rick Karlquist referred to a
voltage "droop" in the PSU occurring, due to the additional load of the oven
as a consequence of fitting the OCXO to the 5334B. I assume that this is
when the oven is taking maximum current - perhaps he will offer some help
(again) as I cannot find his earlier comments ? I note that the rear
"simple" oscillators trimmer is still operative - should this be so ?, or is
it indicative to a need to disconnect it ?
Again, any comments would be appreciated.
Regards
Roy
