[time-nuts] GPSDO three cornered comparisons

[Said Jackson]

Instead of Stable32, try Ulrich Bangerts plotter tool, it has a host of stability analysis built in and is easier to use than Stable32 in my opinion.

Its also free.

Using Z38xx, there's almost an order of magnitude difference between the reported ADEVs at 40k seconds (HP:7e-13, Sym:5e-12). Both have 10811 oscillators and are reporting similar ADEVs up to about 1000 seconds. The Symmetricom is also showing large daily temperature variations, while the HP is stable, noting that ambient is varying 5-10dC over a day (I'll measure this from now on).
