Hi David: I'm typically getting a sigma of 9 ns from my M12T+ with 1000 averages. I use the GPS 1 PPS as the start signal to the SR620 TI counter and the 1 MHz output from the Cesium standard as the stop signal. Note that with this arrangement rollover occurs at 1 microsecond, not 1 second, b

Hello, I did more or less the same measurements, and in order to avoid the uncertainities due to the jitter present in the GPS 1pps output, I divided the 10MHz rubidium output to 1MHz, and measured time intervals usign 1pps as start and the divided output as stop. Regards, Javier, EA1CRB D

I've now got 1) Stanford PRS10 rubidium standard 2) Motorola M12+ timing GPS receiver with a 1 pps output. 3) HP 5370B time interval counter. I'd like to look at the drift of the rubidium before I try to steer it with the PLL. Can anyone explain how to do this with the 5370B? I understand how
