[time-nuts] HP 5370B question

I ran my 5370B for one hour, counting its own reference with a one second
gate.  The summary of the results are:

min	9999999.99650  Hz
max	9999999.99963  Hz
avg	9999999.99796  Hz
median	9999999.99787  Hz

Per the manual's  Performance Test 5 (page 4-12) the spec is +/- 0.005 Hz.
It would be nice if my average was 10,000,000.000 HZ but??  From a Time-nuts
thread of several months ago, the adjustment for this result is very touchy
and it's likely you will make the result worse rather then better.  Since
mine is in spec, I'll leave it alone.
 
I have sent the graphical & raw data to Corby, if anybody else is interested
please advise me of your email address.

Regards,
Bob Martinson, N1VQR

Hi,

Could a few of the 5370B owners connect the counters reference output to
its counting input jack and with a 1 second gate let me know what the
last 2 digits are doing?

An earlier post implied that the last couple digits will wander around
due to the way its designed.

I'd like to know what a couple different counters show to see if that is
indeed true!

Thanks,

Corby Dawson
