ABSTRACT:
A visual tuning-aid system for aligning an electronic timepiece to a correct reference frequency is disclosed. A reference oscillator in the system provides a reference signal at a precisely fixed predetermined frequency which is, or is converted to, the correct alignment frequency for the timepiece. A sensor electrostatically detects a time base signal in the timepiece and a bandpass amplifier removes any extraneous signals. The reference signal and the time base signal are provided to a phase shift indicating device in the system which provides a visual display, the movement of which is proportional to the rate of phase change between the reference signal and the time base signal. Alignment of the timepiece to the correct frequency stops the phase change and thereupon the visual display stops moving.
