Ok.. So then i think i will first measure the oven working "correctly"
(as in power consumption going down) and then the EFC working.
These i can do quite simply with the tools i have at hand.
Stability and phase noise measurements are a bit more involved and i need
to buy equipment to get to that level and/or need more time to do the
measurements.

Thanks everyone!
