The phase is the instantaneous error in seconds between the oscillator and the control loop zero servo
point. The frequency offset is computed using an averaging time that is equal to the effective averaging
time of the oscillator controller. The oscillator Drift Rate is computed using a 24-hour average and is the
daily Drift Rate of the oscillator. The oscillator DAC value is the signed 16-bit integer that controls the
DAC output voltage. It ranges from 0 to 65536.
