[time-nuts] GPS USB dongle for time server

2010-11-09 Thread Mark Sims
It's not exactly a USB dongle,  but if you have a Thunderbolt,  Lady Heather has a time sync command that sets the system clock to Tbolt time.  You can have it set the clock periodically or whenever the system clock diverges from Tbolt time by a specified amount (including 0 milliseconds).

Hi Depends on where you filter it. If you get a oscillator going that also mixes, the frequency difference will come out directly. Getting that all done at once may be a bit tricky. Bob On Nov 9, 2010, at 1:55 AM, Magnus Danielson wrote: On 11/09/2010 12:51 AM, Bob Camp wrote: Hi You

Paul, I have a 2201 (and a 2200) and some documentation for the 2201A including something labeled as a maintenance manual for the 2201A. I took a very quick pass through this looking for references to internal 1 PPS, but did not see anything too obviously relevant. Perhaps we can discus

Sent a post yesterday and did not see it show up. Suspect the internet gods have eaten it. I have a Austron 2201a and have home brewed the magic down converter. It is receiving the satellites now. Since I have no documentation at all I am guessing at what the error is that I am seeing. No

Re: [time-nuts] Minor NTP Issue?

2010-11-09 Thread Greg Dowd
My guess is that the error is real and coming from the TS2100. The TS2100 was (is) a SNTP server running a RTOS but the timestamps are done at the application layer. If you look at the output 1pps of the TS2100, my guess is that it will probably agree with your other devices within a few

Since I either owned or created all the Bancomm/Datum ntp designs after I joined bancomm in 1992, I can promise you that I still have at least one version of the source code :-) Actually I think I even have the source for the bc635/700LAN product, created by Joe Fontes. The problem is generally
