John,

It depends on what you mean by "readings". Or on what the
two sources are:
1) are you comparing two relatively stable 1pps sources, or
2) two oscillators running at completely different frequencies?

If (1), then any time interval counter will work for you. There
is no issue of "dead time" or "continuous" measurement. You
can calculate ADEV directly from the raw output of the 5370,
because it is giving you a periodic series of time interval (aka
phase difference) measurements.
