Well...

If you do not have the sawtooth, what you can do instead is try to steer your
external clock to give you *maximum* jitter on the PPS.

That situation arises when you get the GPS to "waffle" between which
two clock-cycles of the external clock it should put the PPS.

It is incredibly dependent on the GPS receiver internals, and it is
very hard to keep stable, but you _can_ do it.

I know, because I did :-)
