There's a confusing set of definitions between accuracy, resolution, and precision. The 5370 makes it even more complicated because its actual resolution is 20ps (single shot) while the display can look more like 1 ps (if you plot the data you'll see discrete 20ps granularity). From the experiments I've done, after you factor in trigger error and other uncertainties, the 5370 usable accuracy is about 60ps single shot.
