Kudos for that picture :-) >I have a question about the dead time of the 5370. >Can it be eliminated with a fast enough processor, buffering, >interface, etc. or is it intrinsic to the measurement hardware >itself? That is a very good question. The first issue is that I pressume the two startable oscillators needs to have some time in the PLL state to stay on frequency, but I have no idea how much time/duty-cycle is required. The second part is that you only have one N0 counter and presumably you would need two to ping-pong between the two inputs.
