Hello Bob.
Thank you, now I have a better idea.
I understand that the NTP is completely ruled out and also between GPS there
is a strong difference.

Actually I own a Racal 1995 that should be better than the 5335 with its 1ns
single shot resolution.
However, I don't still own a GPSDO to reference the counter so how do you
suggest to use it?
I should use total A over B with the DUT in A and the PPS in B?
