Hi Al, When you say time synchronisation hardware and Software do you mean NTP compatible or any hardware that will provide time. If the latter, then the list is a very long one indeed. Not sure that such a list exists, but interested to see what others come back with. Kind Regards Rob

Not to mention the equipment that synchronizes the power grid to UTC, seamlessly integrating leap seconds. It's amazing what you can stir up with an open-ended query. 1. What is the purpose of the equipment? To provide approximate time-of-day for human use or to provide precision that only a
