Bottom line, the adjustment via the controller had no effect on this
accuracy issue. I ended up changing out the TCXO with a new one
and..problem solved. No noticeable drift on more than one week. I
guess I must have fried the first one during the building of the
clock.

   HI WestDave, I know how to change the setting, but I do not know how
   to make these proper measurements Moses refers to in his note. Can I
   just make a one increment change and see what happens, or is it
   possible to cause damage by doing so??

with 53 adjustments it must be in there some where did you get the
book with all the settings?
here it is option #50 software time correction -99.99to+99.99  default
-3.03  so click away

 I have built a clock using Moses' controller and after living with it
 a while it appears the clock is running a bit fast. There is an
 adjustment via the software however Moses says DO NOT adjust this
 value without taking proper measurements. Can Moses or anybody else
 advise as to how to make these measurements or can I just increment
 the adjustment a few ticks + or (-)?

I think that you should have found (unless your clock goes through radical
changes in temperature) that there was a time correction that you could
apply to make your clock behave close enough.. Obviously a TCXO is the
easiest answer, provided you have $10 to spend on a DS32khz (or know that
maxim-ic gives the things away by the fistful if you ask). :D

The clock did not seem to respond in any way, even to significant
changes in the SW adjustment which led me to believe something was
hosed!

Yep. I'm with you on the Maxim sample thing!

$10?   That is by far worth it considering the time saving in  labor alone. 
 :)
 
Glad you got your clock running.   Now you have time for the next  project.

I remember my old TV when I would spin through the channels   (2-13).
My Dad would yell at me, You're going to break it.  Don't spin the  dial 
like that.
 
You brought back memories.  Wonder if anyone has ever broken their TV  by 
changing the channels.
 
Anyone remember the clicker that would make a loud click and the TV would 
 change the channel up one.  The first TV remote control.Ha!
