For the purpose of this conversion I want us to imagine that I have a networked 
system  of two computers where:

1)A machine (Machine A) configured as a chrony server. It serves as the main 
time source of the two machines. Let's say it has a GPS reference  (although 
that's irrelevant to the question).



2)We have a second machine (Machine B)with chrony configured to use machine A 
as its time source. So Machine B is a client of Machine A as far as chrony is 
concerned.



I want to try to try a bunch of experiments where we manually change the times 
on machine B and monitor how fast the system time on machine B synchronizes to, 
say within a second of Machine A. I want to calculate an average 
synchronization time.



My question is: Using tools like chronyc, timedatectl, chrony logs etc., is 
there a good strategy that sticks out for doing this?
