Unfortunately the scale on the graph is a bit useless (the variation is squeezed up far too much). Also It is not at all clear what the "Timekeeping" graph is a graph of. Is that the offset, the drift rate correction? And what is 5001's ? (the quoted offset) It is the drift rate that should correlate with temp. It is certainly true that something like disk temp is a best a poor proxy for the timing crystal temp. esp since the disk is probably not the main heat source. The CPU temp would rpobably be a better proxy, but obviously even that is not very good. "motherboard temp" might be better. Anyway, by plotting both the drift rate correction and the temp of these various locations you could get a better idea of which correlated best with the timing crystal rates. >Cheers, >David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
