We report new experimental results obtained on
the insulating spin glass . Our experimental setup
allows a quantitative comparison between the
thermo-remanent magnetisation and the autocorrelation of
spontaneous fluctuations of magnetisation, yielding a
complete determination of the fluctuation-dissipation
relation. The dynamics can be studied both in the
quasi-equilibrium regime, where the fluctuation-dissipation
theorem holds, and in the deeply ageing regime. The limit of
separation of time-scales, as used in analytical
calculations, can be approached by use of a scaling
procedure.
