This article describes measurement of oscillator instabilities by a method using the real-time multichannel scaler (RTMS). A theoretical model for such application is also considered. The general problem of the oscillator instability measurements in time domain is discussed. The results of oscillator instability measurements using the real-time multichannel scaler and a time interval analyzer are compared. The full range of application of this method is up to 7E-7 and depends strongly on the RTMS construction. We present the results of oscillator instability measurements of the order of 3E-5, using the RTMS with a resolution of 3.13 ns and the range of operation 3.28 ms. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
