[time-nuts] Considerations When Using The SR620

Volker,

 	That's a great question and I'm afraid I don't have a good answer 
for you.  If pressed, I would estimate less than 100ps.
 	The error of this measurement contributes to the error in our 
final measurement which has many components.  I haven't worked out an 
error budget for each contributor.  Our goal is a final error of less than 
10ns.  But a few contributors are already expected to be around 1ns, so 
this error really needs to be less than 1ns, preferably less than 100ps.

Cheers,
Paul
