Do typical frequency counters start their gate in phase with the incoming signal? I guess the answer would be, "It depends." I was just thinking about how I would program the STM32F7 counter I am designing. btw, Gilbert, a local time-nut, sold me a 5335 today so I will be able to buiild

Hi Keep in mind the previously stated limitation - Your GPSDO is only just so accurate. If you *could* read 0.001 Hz on a 100 MHz signal in a second, the GPSDO would not be anywhere near good enough as a reference. Keeping track of that sort of stuff is one reason a lot of companies train you

So the STM App note An-4776 teaches how to use an external clock and it looks pretty accurate in implementation. I’ve read thru the code and it looks easy to implement. Now I just need to bring another signal in and count it. I’ll be working on some code this afternoon to implement the
