Second thought, look at the tau=1 to 10 s and you see that it first rises before the usual slope. This is the effect of averaging in the counter. I would suspect that a HP53132A is being used. Magnus, You're correct about averaging effects; for example, see:

That data represents a beat note between two optical frequencies: Nd:YAG laser stabilized to hyperfine transitions of molecular iodine and optical frequency comb that is phase locked to the SRS FS-725 rubidium standard. And it seems that AVAR of this measurement is lower than values for

I'm trying to calculate AVAR from collected data, but I would expect a different behavior of my DUT. Does anybody can calculate the AVAR for me? Gate time was 1s, without any deadtime between measurements, this is a file http://www.fuw.edu.pl/~fozimek/pomiar61-frep.txt with collected data.
