In my experience it generally skews your result downwards, but I have seen it move upwards also, it all depends on the phase. By running the 5370 from a unlocked source makes the input signals "precess" over the input windows and averages stuff out. I only lock my 5370 if I need to measure long timeintervals, for short intervals the timebase error is lost in the noise. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
