Nope, not using the external divider for this -- I'm going from the
5061A PPS output directly into the counter.
Re the cable and delay, I haven't fully thought this through, but wonder
if perhaps there was a break in continuity (say, in the connector
mating). With a 50 ohm termination at the counter, you'd have an RC
network. The 5061A PPS output is fairly healthy (I think it's 10V peak)
so the signal could still have enough amplitude to trigger the counter
through the capacitance. Not sure if this is (or could be) the
solution, but who knows...
