[time-nuts] PRS10 MDEV

[Chris Burford]

Tom,
This is just a free running PRS10 wired to a TAPR TICC, I thought that
I would run some stand alone tests before I brought my GPSDO in line
too. The PRS10 is the source for the 10MHz as well as reading the 1PPS
output from it.

 Chris,

 Thanks for sharing the plot.

 What instrument are you using to make the measurements? And what
frequency reference is being used? Is this a free-running PRS10, or is
it locked to GPSDO with some time constant?

 Is that same GPSDO being used as a reference for your measurements?
The plateau looks very much like GPSDO behavior and the slide into
e-14 and e-15 territory looks like you're measuring a PLL.
