My old place would be in the 98% band.
The guys in the West of Shetlands area, Schiehallion, Foinavon or Clair Ridge for example will probably be close to the 100% if not in it.

Extremely cloudy here as well, but we can just about get a glimpse of the eclipse through them... Epic

Clear skies, sun in right direction - and by heck the temperature in the back garden dropped quickly, even in our ~90% band.

Yeah, well, I just hope the next one is better. That was in what? 24 years or so?

I hope it's just a phase The Lounge is going through.

Trouble is I don;t think it just one phase - I think there's a three phase supply.

Well we could switch to DEFCON I if that's more appropriate than phasing

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

I think we've gotten into a Phase Locked Loop?

I admit to some surprise that you know the term. I was deeply involved in electronics design when the PLL was invented, and spent a lot of time trying to grasp the mathematical model of capturing and tracking the phase shift required to keep the system stable. Fascinating stuff, and so many applications for the technique...

No, no!
To be in a PLL would imply more homework questions in the Lounge to be "in-phase" with the input signal from the original poster.

Ever see a dog chase it's tail? Same theory!

Not quite a perfect simile, but it will do. I actually think the Ouroboros model is more accurate, as the snake will consume itself as it chases its tail, but must necessarily stop at some finite distance from the head, lest it consume its own ability to consume. A PLL develops a response output in proportion to the error signal at its input, but there must always be some amount of error present in order for it to continue to maintain a lock and function properly. A perfect lock will break it.

I believe your analogy is a better one I yield kind sir! Never heard of that Our-burros theory is that a Western thang?

I believe the image and concept originated in Greece, probably more than a couple of weeks ago. They couldn't afford to pay a philosopher these days, and probably would charge Socrates for his cup of hemlock tea. I wonder if they'd take Diners Club for that? Anyway, no - it's not Western: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros[^]

Am I right in assuming that in practice this is only a concern with digital PLL's?

No. Analog phase discriminators also require a fixed error signal to maintain a lock. The major concern with digital PLLs is jitter, which can cause a loss of lock in high precision systems.

My thought was that in analog PLL's there'll always be some noise which will cause an error signal so you wouldn't have to explicitly deal with a zero-error-signal.. ?
