[time-nuts] LPRO testing

[Magnus Danielson]

Fellow time-nuts,

As I received a box of suspect LPROs I now have a largish amount of 
LPROs to test through.

I got the LPRO manual as well as the repair guide.

Seems like I need to solder up a connector and hook a few things up.

I will have to improvise on the heat-sink side until I find something 
useful.

I would think that I would sort them into a few different piles 
depending on the failure modes. By external observing I should see these:

1) Heater problem (monitoring current would have heating gone or 
overheating)
2) Lamp problem (monitoring the lamp monitor output)
3) Lock problem (monitoring the BITE as well as frequency)
4) RF problem (monitoring the existence of RF output)

What else did can people think off?

I think the above would work as a systematic check-list.

Now, I'd love to hear about hints and tips from you folks.

Cheers,
Magnus
