I like it quite a bit. The YouTube videos by Agilent
do a fair job showing the instrument and are worth a
few minutes if you are interested. Using TimeLab with
John's new TCP/IP support for the 53230A makes some
of the built-in logging and statistical functions less
important unless you want to use some of the 53230A's
advanced features such as its zero dead-time modes.
I measured a residual of 3E-11 ADEV @ 1sec using a
non-optimum setup of TimeLab in the frequency measurement
mode measuring a 10 MHz Thunderbolt signal from a TSC
distribution amp as input 1 with another output from the
TSC supplying the Ext Ref. I get a STDDEV of 8 ps measuring
delay through 3 feet of RG-223 cable.
