Paul,

The Zeeman frequency you use depends on what synthesizer frequency your
unit is set for.

Either 48.82Khz or 53.53Khz.

See: https://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2008-July/032378.html

The Zeeman coil is close to a short. You set the amplitude to the spot
that gives you the best look at the peaks.

Adjust the C-field to land on the central peak.

Cheers,

Corby

Thanks Corby.
Well didn't find the zeeman peaks but using a GPSDO it was very apparent
what the peaks are. Its now set and the real issue is that the base unit
was a option 004 now with a standard tube in it. Changing the C field
resistor moved it into the correct offset range. 300 ohms down to 235 ohms
for a standard tube per the manual.
I did swap the synthesizer module but I do not believe thats actually an
issue.
