Unbelievable. I wanted to simulate the NES CPU clock so I turned the knob on my analog function generator (no DDS/PLL, with digital counter) for 1.79 MHz randomly. After running it for a day, I found the oscilloscope shows the signal has a period of 558 ns (the theoretical period should be 558.73 ns). Nanosecond precision with a potentiometer. :blobcatlul:
