[time-nuts] RC TIC linearity correction?

I finally got my PLL running today, and I think I can manage with just a small table of 10 values to be used as the width of my PPS jitter corrector.  That takes care of it for this project, but obviously not for the general case.

>Yes a lookup table would be easy.  But how to create the table?  I've been thinking about a way to do self calibration.   The controller purposely runs the DAC and of course the OCXO through some range and watches the phase.  This gives you a rough DAC vs. Phase function.   Re-running the calibration could make up for some component aging.   It would take some time (hours) to wait for everything to warm up and then you'd have to move the EFV voltage slowly
