[time-nuts] Recently acquired 53132A

[Tom Van Baak]

Pete,

I don't recall that anyone complained much about the old 53132A, the counter that you have.

The discussions we had about external reference a while ago were about new 53230A. There's nothing wrong with it, I mean, it's a very nice counter, but since it's a fancy, new design, high-end, 20 ps counter some of us had equally high expectations about the purity of the input or output reference, or other subtle details of its operation.
