[time-nuts] Newbie alert! Just acquired a Datum FTS-4040A

[Taka Kamiya]

Hello Time-nuts....  I'd like to join your club.
I've been lurking for quite some time.  During this time, I went to Xtal oscillator to OCXO to GPSDO to Rubidium to GPSD Rb to TODAY, Cesium standard.  I thought this would be a good time to stop lurking and start talking.
The Cesium unit in question is Datum FTS-4040A.  I bought it on cheap.  I have no evidence that Cs tube has ever been replaced but it locks in 6 minutes and it is quite stable.  It must be a basic unit because RS232 port is not wired (connector is there), 1 pps is not there, and only output available are 1, 5, and 10MHz.  

I would first like to collect manuals.  I went to my "usual places" and did not find any.  I did find one for 4040B but the part I really need are missing on mine and standard on B.  First goal is to enable RS232C so I can monitor.  MONITOR connector is there but this is just for relay outputs for major errors, etc.  

If anyone can help, I'd be very appreciative.  I also would like to meet fellow FTS-4040A owners and exchange notes.  

Thanks -
