Hi Mark,

Did you use the Arduino's PWM output plus a LPF for the DAC, or a separate
DAC? If PWM, did you have problems with noise or sensitivity to the
USB-provided supply voltage?

Also I have found that not all computer USB ports can supply enough warm-up
current for a 5V OCXO. Or did you use a hefty USB charger and miss out on
the ability to get logging info back over the USB port?
