Yes, but looping back to the start of this thread, the intent is to actually 
measure the jitter directly. 
That’s where the whole need for a stamped pulse comes from. To paraphrase the 
earlier comments,
the intent is to get away from a “self reported” result and actually do a 
direct measurement.
