Hi ,
   
  Isn't  5370 ownership a prerequisite  for this group ?

  Hi:

While trying to figure out the O-1814 Rb source I found a 1 PPS signal that's 
less than 10 us wide. But using an HP 54501A DSO it's almost impossible to 
determine the period. http://www.prc68.com/I/O1814.shtml

If the display is 1,000 dots wide:
at 2 us/sq the trace takes up about 4.5 squares or 450 dots,
at 200 us/sq the trace takes up about 0.045 squares or 4 dots but the second 
pulse is way off screen. At slower sweep speeds you can't see the pulse.

Are there scopes that allow the period of a narrow pulse to be measured that 
don't cost an arm and leg?
