I think doing the type of long-time log that I proposed may help in 
getting to know the behaviour better. One of my counters has a nifty 
real-time update distplay and I set it to 5 sec time-base and see how it 
slowly updates. If it was even niftier it would scroll the display 
continously as an option, but you can't get it all.

Oh, when I described means to estimate drift parameters out if the 
frequency derivate, then again the need for zero dead time is there, 
between the frequency or time samples (whichever is used). Picket fence 
techniques should be used. The TADD-2 may come in handy. Oh, got to play 
some more with mine.

Cheers,
Magnus
