Evidence supports the assertion that oscillator short term stability improves toward an asymptote, as oscillators accumulate more operating time.
Statistics are too small to make a good estimate of 'yield', where yield is defined as delivering performance adequate to the needs of IceCube.
Additional samples are on order by Wisconsin. #1 and #4 will be burned in more, and retested, while we wait for them to arrive.
