That seem to be fairly normal for an oscillator to undergo some initial quick 
aging after being powered on after a long rest.  It should settle down after a 
week or so.  My FTS-4060 cesium unit was aging at about 40mV a day.  After a 
week it was down to around 10mV.  After two weeks, it stabilized to where the 
control voltage more or less follows temperature with around +/- 2mV change 
over a day.

The ThunderBolt DAC voltage plot mirrors the PPS error estimate.  As one goes 
up,  the other goes down.  They show discontinuities whenever the tracked 
satellite constellation changes.  The DAC voltage usually wanders +/- 250 
microvolts over an hour.  The PPS error plot is generally a smooth curve.  The 
DAC voltage plot is more of a stair-step curve.
