Measuring an OCXO - or not
<< < (5/7) > >>

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.

If you want to check your plots, I'd recommend Bill Riley's program Stable 32 which is now free (it used to be quite expensive):

EDIT : I see I've already mentioned this in a previous post but in a slightly different context.

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

Unless you are taking one sample per day, your sample interval is a bit long. :)  Can you post your data set as an attachment?
