Sorry for the simple questions. Old hands can simply ignore this message if it bothers you.
I have an HP 5328A that I have pieced together from broken units. As soon as I make a ribbon cable for the GPIB card, I want to use it for T.I. measurements. I know it isn't nearly as good as a 5370, but it is what I have at the moment. The manual states that the Universal module adds dithering to the multiplied 100 MHz internal reference. If I use a GPSDO as an external reference, will this multiplying/dithering allow me to use the same GPSDO (divided down to PPS) on either the START or STOP inputs? If not, then how about using a different GPSDO as the external reference? Or even an FE5680A rubidium? If I read the specs correctly, using T.I. averaging on the 5328A, a 1000 s average should get me 100 ps resolution? With this particular instrument, what is the best, useful resolution I can expect?
