[time-nuts] BC637PCI and OCXO

[d0ct0r]

Now I have the plan. Thanks !

I'll try to connect external OCXO to that 15-pin connector, then using 
provided utility, I could switch to external oscillator.

I think here is settings for externally connected source of 10Mhz:

12. Select Clock Source ->
   0. Internal
   1. External

Probably I'll need to do some adjustment using so-called "Advanced 
settings":

Advanced Menu:

  1. Control Jam-Sync
  2. Force Jam-Sync
  3. Set Clock Value
  4. Load D/A Converter
  5. Set Disciplining Gain
  6. Disconnect Battery to RTC Chip
  0. Back to main menu

Regards,

V.P.
