Thanks -

I had to adjust the trigger levels, but now I’m getting some measurements that make sense.

Is it important to bypass the Std (non-stabilised) 53132A internal reference with an accurate 10MHz in order to get good 1PPS jitter measurements (to, say, <50ns)?

The jitter of the Std reference would nevertheless be <<50ns, right?
