I can't believe I'm disagreeing with Bob Camp but this is not my
experience.  99.9% of the time preset trigger works fine and I think you
should start with that.  AC coupling almost always works and is sometimes
required (with the Rb I think).

I have a 5335A (w/ opt 010+040) and have measured 1PPS on my PRS-10, Fury,
Firefly and random GPS parts.  If the trigger light is not flashing at 1 Hz
the only thing I've ever had to do is toggle AC coupling or enable 1PPS
output on the device (or plug it in).  Sometimes increasing the gate time
tidies up the display.
