[time-nuts] PRS-10 findings

[Henk ten Pierick]

Hi Said,

My hp53310 shows the same artifacts if the input frequency is nearly  
the reference frequency. If I use the reference as input frequency  
the noise is lower. When I adjust the time/div to more than 2 times  
the frame flyback time, I can see a disturbance at the fylback  
interval with an amplitude of a few hundred ps. The behaviour is with  
both internal and external reference. The hp53310 is the modulation  
domain analyzer which forms the basis of the 53131/53132.
