Hi Bob and Dave,

Yes it is a reasonable expectation as long as you don't have a lot of drafts. A 
good TCXO can get down to sub 0.1 ppb over that period.

This is why I like ADEV plots in datasheets. I rarely get to see them. TDEV 
plots is a nice complement naturally.

And I wish there were adev plots for cheap tcxo's on the mgr data sheets

Me too. I have to make the measurement myself. In one case I found that the oven control in one OCXO was unstable and had a resonance at about 7 second period. It was possible to measure it on the current supply too. The oven-control was having a relatively high-Q resonance and self-oscillation around the stability point. It increased the ADEV at that point to almost about 10 times more than expected. I learned that it was a good thing I measured it and yes, that spec didn't exist in the datasheet. It is unclear if they knew it or not. Even my half-crap setup proved valueable as I got aware of an issue on sample level rather than out in production phase.

Cheers,
Magnus
