Hi:

AFAICR the HP GPSDOs included the idea of measuring the aging rate of the crystal and applying that correction during 
holdover.
This was also mentioned by Brooks Shera in relation to his GSPDO (there was a plot), but I don't think it was part of 
the firmware?

So rather than just locking the control voltage to the last used value it would be much better to add a linear ramp.
