30-40 ps seems OK to me. But are you saying then that you
get a measured value to 200 fs resolution but with +/- 30 ps
standard deviation? This doesn't feel right at all. It seems to me
if your sdev is +/- 30 ps it is incorrect to even write down the
measured values to ps levels; and fs are out of the question.
