Context.The Allan variance is a standard technique to characterise the stability of spectroscopic instruments used in astronomical observations. The period for switching between source and reference measurement is often derived from the Allan minimum time. However, various methods are applied to compute the Allan variance spectrum and to use its characteristics in the setup of astronomical observations.
