Lower left is a plot of various measurement errors. The top black points are the frequency discretizaion due to a difference of one 20 MHz clock tic. As you can see, below  a 200 KHz input frequency the resolution is better than 1 part in 106, which is the target accuracy for sampling the ParoScientific 202BGs.  The temperature signal from a 202BG is around 170 KHz and the pressure signal is around 40 KHz, so things look gooda 20 MHz clock is able to provide this accuracy.

*max(abs(fcor-fref))*is the maximum absolute difference of the measured, clock corrected frequency from the reference frequency for the 100-300 samples at each reference frequency. This maximum error seen in the test stayed below the 1:106line except for some points at frequencies over 200 KHz. Board 3 in pressure2 was the exception and did have some points over the line.  We should repeat the calibration after the project.

The maximum error also generally stayed below the frequency discretization level, suggesting that after the clock is corrected, almost all of the remaining error is due to the discretization.  Boards 1,2 and 3 however do show some errors above the discretization level.

mean(fcor-fref) are the mean measurement error  points at each frequency.
