The question can't be answered without knowing what the range switch does. In my experience, the cycle that is divided into 360 degrees is the period of the input signal regardless of the range switch.
You don't say, but the usual GPSDO produces a 10 MHz signal, unless it's for a telco application. If the phase meter goes through one cycle in a second there is a one cps difference between the signals. One cycle at 10 MHz is one part in 10E7. One cycle in a kilohertz is 1 part in 1000. 1 cycle in 100 seconds for 10 MHz is one part in 10E9 Does the time for a phase rotation vary with the range switch?

If it's going through 360 degrees in 10 seconds it's 0.1 Hz off at what ever point it's comparing. If it takes 100 seconds that's 0.01 Hz. Yes I get this pesky decimal point stuff wrong from time to time ... Bob On Feb 26, 2014, at 9:19 PM, Paul A.
