Re: 82182A Time Module question Message #13 Posted by BobVA on 16 Jan 2012, 11:57 a.m., in response to message #1 by Monte Dalrymple
I think a good solution would be to integrate as much of the timer functionality in the 41CL as you can and give the user the option of disabling it entirely in favor of an actual time module if they wish.
If the omitted functions are critical for a particular user they could then install an actual module and go with that.
The impact of no accuracy adjustment could be ameliorated by (as noted above) using a higher accuracy crystal, incorporating a physical trimmer or a even a TCXO.
I'd say it's well worth the effort of including. I know it's not a 100% solution, but for me it would be 95%. Given the price of used time modules, that's a significant accomplishment.
