[time-nuts] 5370B problem

2007-06-23 Thread SAIDJACK
Hi guys, has anyone seen phase jumps of the nanoseconds range without any affect to the picosecond display in the 5370B before? This problem has been appearing before I ever opened the unit, so it's not related to my calibration/mods. What is happening is really weird: Whenever the

Hi, on the nanosecond-scale jumps I see, I attached an actual measurement in which you can clearly see the full-nanosecond jumps with only single-digit picosecond noise. The output rate is about 8 measurements per second: TI = 1.3823000E-08 TI = 1.3829000E-08 TI =
