<p>The variables operate as follows:</p>
<dl>
<dt><tt>allan <i>allan</i></tt>
- <dd>The argument becomes the new value for the minimum Allan intercept, which is a parameter of the PLL/FLL clock discipline algorithm. The value in log2 seconds defaults to 7 (1024 s), which is also the lower limit.
- <dt><tt>dispersion <i>dispersion</i></tt>
+ <dd>The argument becomes the new value for the Allan intercept, which is a parameter of the PLL/FLL clock discipline algorithm. The value is in seconds with default 1500 s, which is appropriate for most computer clocks.<dt><tt>dispersion <i>dispersion</i></tt>
<dd>The argument becomes the new value for the dispersion increase rate, normally .000015 s/s.
<dt><tt>freq <i>freq</i></tt>
<dd>The argument becomes the initial value of the frequency offset in parts-per-million. This overrides the value in the frequency file, if present, and avoids the initial training state if it is not.
