I've done some long term measurements on my GPSDO. The GPSDO has a RS232 based simple command interface.
Commandline interface
It has a bunch of commands available. I assume, that the following commands provide information on the GPSDO internal control loops for temperature and GPS.
Status command "diagnostics:loop?"
This command provides the following output:
UCCM-P > diagnostic:loop?

freq cor = 6.356560e-08
phase cor = -2.000000e-11
gps phase = 1.366667e-08
temp cor = -3.911350e-11
Using this command, I extract these values for "freq cor", "phase cor", "gps phase" and "temp cor" and feed it into my sensor network. Each diagram shows the data for the last 15days.
If someone has more information on the meaning of these value, please give me a hint!
Frequency correction
At the beginning and at about day #5, you see a restart of the GPSDO due to power failure. This line is contantly rising - no idea why this happens. If someone has a clue, feel free to contact me!
Temperature correction
This value is reverse proportional to the room temperature of the GPSDO. The warmer the room, the less the main osciallator has to be heated.
GPSPhase
At the beginning and at about day 10 you see a restart of the GPSDO due to power failure. This value is more or less stable - means a horizontal line.
Phase correction
This value is more or less stable - means a horizontal line.
GPS:SATellite:TRACking:COUNt?
UCCM-P > GPS:SATellite:TRACking:COUNt?
+4
From this command, I extract the number of tracked satellites. The diagram also shows the data for the last 15 days.
