Z3815A show 0ns Predicted uncertainty

I noticed my Z3815A was show 0ns (zero) for predicted uncertainty tonight.

Is there something wrong or is its predicted holdover uncertainty below measureable (displayable) value?
Is there a pForth command that would give me an accurate figure for PHU?
My 5 other Z3805A smartclocks are all in the 100-800ns range as well so I am not sure what's going on up there.
New birds?

Hi

The holdover prediction is entirely dependent on the OCXO and how it's behaving. Your OCXO likely had a pair of events that caused the aging estimate to get very low.
