Hi “Included software” on the CSAC is a pretty short list …. There is not much past the “stuff” to set it on frequency and read out a few alarms.
One thing that gets into a lot of these projects: We are Time Nuts and spec things in terms of time. This error over that period is some specific number. Maybe we look at temperature rather than sit it on the shelf for a year. The number is still a time error. Pretty much everybody making devices spec’s them (and may think of them) as frequency generating gizmos. They all spec a frequency error over some condition (like a period of time). Unfortunately time error and frequency error aren’t the same thing. This also gets into things like control loops. Generally the input is a time error and the output is a frequency control. Same basic gotcha the input isn’t the same as the output. Fortunately they are related very closely to each other.
