To be more precise:
5370A using internal reference - ECL gate oscillator.
Input signal connected to START BNC.
Zin = 50 ohm
START and STOP channels both connected to START BNC.
10,000 samples
Frequency Amplitude Source +TI jitter -+TI jitter
10MHz 1Vrms GPS locked OCXO 44ps 24ps
10MHz 0.7Vrms 5370A 10MHz output 14ps 14ps
5MHz 1Vrms FTS1200 40ps 41ps
5MHz 0.5Vrms FTS1200 57ps 52ps
