Hi If you are driving the counter's frequency standard input with the FE5680 and simply measuring the period of the GPS output, then the data would make sense.
I am assuming that the counter starts counting on the pps out of the FE5680 and stops counting on the pps out of the GPS. That way every sample is the time difference between the two. Did I get it wrong?

No, the only filtering was the removing of the glitches: the blue graph is the result of "if Period is a number between 0 and 1,4s then plot (1-Period)x10^9" the other are the averaging, each sample is averaged with it's neighbours, 100 samples for the red (50 before and 50 after) and 1000 samples for the yellow (500 before and 500 after).
