Hi "anonymous",
the 53132A only does that for a couple of nanoseconds. Then it jumps to a
stupid value such as:
0.004 us
-0.002 us
0.999,999,993 s
It get's even better when the counter decides it doesn't have enough
resolution in frequency mode:
2,3** u
Absolutely horrible to parse, these guys should have heard of scientific
notation. Not sure who programmed that unit, or if there is a firmware
upgrade that gives proper numbers.
bye,
Said

Counters like the Agilent 53230 actually WILL output negative delays
in this case as long as the delta is still small. This is a quite useful
feature in such cases...
