Hi Björn,

According to HP spec sheet It should be better then just a few 1,5E10-9.

Are you comparing apples with apples?  some nanoseconds error in _phase_
(time) seem reasonable (for the HP) . A _frequency_ error in the range
of 1E-10 to 1E-12 is also reasonable (for the FURY).

But then I have neither of the units you compare, so I could have
misunderstood your issue.
