Wouldn't "aging" be the change in the temperature v. frequncy graph over time? It is hard to hold temperture constant so maybe record the function at several different times.
This is one big advantage of using a microprocessor inside the GPSDO, It can log internal data to either a SD card or use a USB link to a PC to be recored in log files. Even my "simple as possible" GPSDO push data to a PC over USB. It is easy to glue a temperature sensor to "whatever" and log it On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 10:14 PM, Hal Murray <hmur...@megapathdsl.net> wrote: > > j99har...@gmail.com said: > > Unless the oscillator is still warming up, 5 minutes or even 60 is way > too > > short a time to look at aging.
