Bringing out the C field in my estimation does not effect long or short
term. External magnetic field I think is a joke. An other option is a loop
that generates a tuning word for the DDS but that means your steps are 7 E-13.

I was more interested in the technical details of how to adjust the
output of a RbO without sacrificing the short and long term stability.
I have seen a few designs that used a DDS to generate the 10 MHz
output which lends itself to this but they all suffer from DDS and
tuning noise. I see now that the RbO can be adjusted with an external
magnetic field.
