>You will also need an accurate clock to calibrate them against, >probably using a thermostated oscillator. In the US it is much easier to use WWV or WWVH at 5, 10, 0r 15MHZ. A good way to estimate rate of change is to look at the WWV audio "beep" with your scope, and trigger the scope with a one-second timing signal from your circuit. Use the expanded-sweep feature of your scope to magnify the rate by 10X. Reg .....................Reg Neale..................... "Ignorance is a renewable resource" P.J. O'Rourke
