Well, we (Meinberg) have redundant GPS receivers optimized for timing and I am sure our competition offers something similiar. But I honestly doubt that you want to consider them because they are orders of magnitude more expensive than the B 303 GPS mouse ... and if you only need half a second of accuracy, there is really no point in spending the extra moneys :-) > Any other ideas? The parse driver has a "trust time" parameter which allows you to specify how long the refclock driver should continue to accept the time string after it lost sync. Is there something similiar in the NMEA driver? And, you always could declare your local clock refclock to be (*gasp* *cough* *doublegasp*) stratum 0, an approach that leads directly into hell and will definitely create all sorts of trouble. On the other hand: Did you try what happens when it looses sync? If there is no other source, ntpd will continue to declare itself a synchronized stratum 1 server and only the root dispersion will increase over time. Half a second? Wow, you should probably consider calling a self-written bash script that reads a time string from the unit and sets the time using "date" :-) Cheers, Heiko _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
