[time-nuts] What did I buy? Austron 1210D-03

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Best guess is that you will get down below <1x10^-9 fairly soon. That will let you 
stay within 100 ns of GPS for a >100 second walk around the block…. It would be 
unusual if it stayed below 1x10^-11 for any length of time. That would extend your
walk time to about three hours. 

As you take your walk, resist the urge to swing the arm carrying the clock. The (likely)
2x10^9 per G acceleration sensitivity will shorten your walk quite a bit if you do :) Of course
you *could* calibrate the sensitivity vector and log all of the arm swings ….
