[time-nuts] Hp58540a

[Don Latham]

Hello out there!! Just got a misbehavin' Symmetricon 58450A unit, came
with error, which I knew. Silly me. Error seems to be 118, but of course
i could not find anything beyond two versions of the user manual. This
one came with 2400 baud, and, ok, the seller wasn't too clear, 'cause it
has the infamous 1 pulse per 2 sec, as noted before on the list.
Ok, I said, I've established communications, let;s see if I can rectify
the error by the command :SYSTem:PRESet  Hoo Boy. Shoulda followed the
advice below in my signature.  It's sending a T followed by 22 address
(?) hex values, then crlf one after another, in order. Cycling power
won't stop it, sending commands won't stop it, yikes. Is it a Mayan
Calendar? Will the world come to an end when or if it ever stops?
Anyone have any ideas or a source I could not find in either the
archives or online for tech info?
The oven works, btw, I watched it warm up and change frequency when I
powered up...so oscillator and output sections are working at least.
