[time-nuts] HP 53310A modulation domain analyzer

[Jose Camara]

Does anyone use an HP 53310A modulation domain analyzer (it is like an
oscilloscope for frequency - displays frequency in Y and time in X, also
does histograms, stdev, etc.)

 

What are gotchas, drawbacks and advantages using it as a counter, stability
measurements instead of a simple counter?  It certainly is a nice tool for
rf debug of sweepers, plls, etc.

 

Ebay has a nice one, with 2.5GHz option 031 for 750 or best offer.
