[time-nuts] Rb as source for ADEV?

[Bob Stewart]

Hi Hal,

I'm thinking about doing it, but I'm still doing extended tests of my GPSDO with the 5334B.  So in order to get access to the 5335A, I'll have to write a server for my Prologix GPIB Ethernet adapter.  I've got a lot of time nuts projects stacked up, and it looks like the GPIB server is going to be key to all of them.
