I'm curious if an OCXO has an SC or AT cut crystal in it. There's no
EFC, so I can't measure sensitivity. I did measure the frequency
change from cold startup, thinking that an SC cut would stabilize
quicker than an AT. I don't have a good AT OCXO to compare against,
but I do have a Morion MV89A (should be an SC, right?).

Thoughts?
The two units are the same size and shape. The Morion ran without the
outer can.
Measurement note: my 5370A is sick, and my 5345A doesn't do GPIB. So
I shot video with the counter (1 s gate time, using a tbolt as the 10
MHz ref) and meter (measuring current) in the frame. From there, I
used vlc to spit out still images at about 1 Hz, then imagemagick to
cut out the sections with the seven segment displays. ssocr
(<http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~auerswal/ssocr/>) did the real magic
of converting the seven segment displays in the images to text. Had
to do some hand cleanup on a few data points, but it was a lot less
frustrating than typing in thousands of data points by hand. I'm sure
it'd work better with a more careful layout and lighting.
