My ADEV chart always seemed suspicious to me. I checked the calculations and the running sum of diff squared dropped the $ signs, so was not actually creating a running tally. I corrected this and the plot seems more like what feels right. |

Thanks, again. :) I did import the frequency measurements into TimeLab, but I'm not sure if I am setting the correct parameters of if this kind of measurement is valid for the data. The results are much different. Also, in TL I imported straight linear data, as if the OCXO would drive exactly 5mHz/day, and I get a straight line with upward slope where in my Excel chart I get a horizontal line. |

And I try Stable32 using a two column text file time(s) <-> Frequency |
