Sorry, my mistake, change that to the former! I have used DACs that
were monotonic with decent results but prefer analog loops when the
time constants are short enough.

The holdover state is a DAC set to the last value of the analog
control voltage that adjusts the oscillator frequency. Some designs
use an analog control loop and switch the DAC into the control loop.
Others use the DAC to set the control voltage at all times. This can
result in a steps in the control voltage (output frequency).
I've used both methods and prefer the latter.

No, you set up an oscillator so that is why you have that problem.
I hooked the two rubidiums together just to see what would
happen. It pretty much did what I expected... chaos... the
time-nut equivalent of a naughty schoolboy putting a microphone up
to the speaker of the public address system. I't's a tough job,
but somebody gotta do it ;-)
No, not really. The rubidium would be the real hold-over clock.
Symmetricom calls the disciplining state where it can't lock to
the 1PPS signal the "holdover" state. It's sort of like a GPSDO
holdover state. Their discipline firmware does let you set the
time constant and damping values. I tried a little playing around
with them, but never found any settings that worked consistently
well with the LEA-5T.
