The BB60C would be the minimum for this test (SM200A would be better). Zero span amplitude vs time and frequency vs time plots, probably with a decimation of 1 for pulse shape, and decimation of 8 to 64 for frequency measurements would be ideal (higher decimation would reduce the noise). You’re basically just looking at the phase change on each I/Q sample, converted to frequency.
