[time-nuts] Raw phase data of super-5065

Hi

Having run tens of thousands of standards on these sorts of tests … the one that is more temperature / pressure sensitive *will*
show up as having worse long term stability.  

1) If your environment swings +/- 1C over 48 hours.

2) If unit A is 1 ppb 0 to 50 ( = 20 ppt / C)

3) If unit B is -0.2 ppb 0 to 50C ( = -4 ppt / C)

4) Both will have degraded stability on a plot that shows 2 days of data

5) Unit A is “at spec” for the 5065, unit B is better than the rated performance. After many decades .. who knows what the spec is ….

Unit B will show up as 5X better on a long term test than unit A with both in *exactly* the same environment.  Holding 1 C over 2 days
is doing well even for some ( but not all ) environmental chambers. 

I’m by no means claiming that this *is* the only source of the difference. The point is that the temperature stability rating on these 
devices is not very good. They are quite temperature sensitive. There are a lot of OCXO’s out there that do much better on stability
than a 5065 temperature wise.
