[time-nuts] Convert Stanford Research SR620 time-interval counter to SR625 ???

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi David:

For me the key benefit of the SR620 is the 16 digit display.  That implies a lot of digits in the reference (although 
not all 16 of them) so I always use an external reference.

When I turn the PRS-10 upside down the crystal changes frequency and the Rb corrects the crystal, see:
