And you watched it the whole time to see the 'reversal' of the rotation. Once going, it is not possible to tell 'which way' it is rotating. In other words, can you tell if it is rotating clockwise or counter clockwise? I would suggest making the GPSDO the 'trigger' for the scope and watch the LPRO on one of the input channels of the scope. If I recall correctly, if it moves left, the LPRO is high and if it moves right, it is low in frequency. Please do not quote me on this as I have had a glass of wine. After all, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Only if you remembered to include the direction when you took the first measurement and if you connected the scope up the same way a month later. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
