Hello Dan,

As promised here is a comparison of the ZED-F9P and NEO-M8T
sawtooth-corrected PPS. The PPS is measured against a 5071 with standard
tube. Three days of data were used. The 5071 was measured against another
5071 and I divided the TDEV by sqrt(2). The 5071 data at shorter than 300s
is limited by the counter resolution so I didn't show it. The ZED-F9P is
significantly better than the M8T between 10 and 1000 s but much the same
past 10000s.

Cheers
Michael
