Hi The most basic issue you are going to run into is that your counter is not high enough resolution / accuracy to give you meaningful data for time intervals under a few hundred seconds. I would focus on improving on that part of things before I went off on a major “test everything” adventure.

MY AIMS 1) Try to learn about the various statistical tests (ADEV, MDEV etc), and how best to compare oscillators, by making some measurements on various oscillators I have. 2) Investigate the short/medium term stability of the output of various bits of test kit. All are locked to GPS by feeding
