[time-nuts] Once again about counter calibration

[d0ct0r]

Currently, 10 Mhz output connected to Linear LTC6957-3 to feed DDS and 
MCU for another purpose. Of course I am able to reconfigure (physically 
disconnect) it. But I am just curious if its an option to use only 1PPS 
for calibration.

Regards,
V.P.
