I'm not sure it's possible to make continuous stability measurements (Allan deviation, etc.) directly with a 5370 since they don't support running/overlapped measurements between readings.
John, It depends on what you mean by "readings". Or on what the two sources are: 1) are you comparing two relatively stable 1pps sources, or 2) two oscillators running at completely different frequencies? If (1), then any time interval counter will work for you. There is no issue of "dead time" or "continuous" measurement. You can calculate ADEV directly from the raw output of the 5370, because it is giving you a periodic series of time interval (aka phase difference) measurements. /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
