List,
Allan variation is good. Allan variation can reveal valuable information.
But when it comes to do it I feel like Lou Costello in Who’s On First?
I’ve been an electronics technician all my working life. Math beyond A squared plus B squared equals C squared is beyond my abilities.
I have quite a bit of test equipment and several computers.
What I need is a Dummy’s Guide to Making Allan Variation Measurements.
I’ve looked at Wikipedia and I am as lost as when I started.
Could someone walk me through the process step by step and also tell me what test equipment is required?
TIA
Perrier
