Hi Brian,
This is a classical crystal jump.
Nothing one can do about it.
Could have been internal to the crystal (stress-relief) or external (gamma
particle hitting the crystal lattice etc).
My 58503A does it every couple of days or so. Really messes with your ADEV
performance...
bye,
Said

The second drawing is a chart from Excel. The Z3801A 1 PPS was being
compared against a HP5065A rubidium and this data is the 100 second
averages record by TAC32. Note is shows a 200 nS jump too. The scale
of the plot is in microseconds (I run a 10 uS offset for some long term
drift experiments).
I cannot remember what causes this from past discussions - it may be an
oven regulator....
