Hi FIrst step is to fire up the 5370B counter and see if it works. If there's a problem re-seat all the boards and see if that fixes it. Simple way to check it is to let it count it's own reference.
Once you have that working, then yes, measuring time between PPS outputs is the way to go. ------- Assuming it is beyond help, then the PicTic counter board is a reasonable alternative. It will also let you measure between PPS's very accurately. Both approaches are far more accurate than you will need for checking conventional OCXO based GPSDO's Bob On May 2, 2013, at 9:33 PM, Mark C.
