If you want to test the time base at the low end,
you can use the signal generator from my Daqarta
software with your sound card. Sound cards use
crystal time bases, so you get pretty decent accuracy.
At a sample rate of 48000 Hz the max sound card
output will be under 24000 Hz, so you won't be
able to calibrate below 50 usec per division.

thanks Bob, it maybe enough to give me piece of mind ?
