Direct spectrum recording was performed with a phase-locked spectrum analyser. But the measurements are time-consuming ( a few minutes of averaging) and not practical for identifying the causes of instability, e.g. microphonics.

However, they confirm the measurements given by the DC-coupled phase meter.
