To determine network coverage of a device within a network a user may send an instruction to the device using a mobile configuration tool of a mobile device. Upon receiving the instruction, the device of which the network coverage is to be determined may broadcast a message using a standard protocol, and listen to one or more responses from other devices in the network. In response to receiving the one or more responses, the device at issue may relay the one or more responses, or a processing result of the network coverage (determined based on the one or more responses) to the mobile configuration tool for display to the user. The user may determine whether the network coverage of that device meets one or more network coverage criteria and, if not, may take some corrective action.

In an oscillator device that outputs a frequency signal based on an oscillation frequency of a crystal resonator and a frequency setting value, a frequency difference detector that obtains a difference value corresponding to a frequency difference between the output frequency of the oscillator device and an external clock signal and a temperature detector are disposed. An aging coefficient and a temperature characteristic coefficient are obtained based on a secular change of the difference value obtained in the frequency difference detector and a secular change of the detected temperature during a period where the external clock signal is obtained. Furthermore, a frequency correction value is calculated using the aging coefficient and the temperature characteristic coefficient during a holdover period, and the frequency correction value is added to the frequency setting value.
