Measuring OCXO Stable Frequency Deviation
When you power the NI 6608 device, the OCXO requires adequate
warm-up time to reach stable frequency. Five minutes is adequate warm-up
time for a power-off duration of less than one hour, with maximum
deviation within 20 ppb, or parts per billion, while four hours of operation
is adequate for a power-off duration of up to 90 days.
