OPTIONAL TIME BASE (Option 
001) 
Option 001 provides an oven controlled crystal oscillator time base with an aging 
rate 
near that of 
a 
time standard.  This option results in better accuracy and longer periods 
between calibration.  A separate power supply keeps the crystal oven 
ON 
and up to 
temperature when the instrument 
is 
turned off 
as 
long 
as 
it 
remains connected to the 
power line.
