From: Steve Summit [] My specific question concerns the case that one of the boxes is a computer, for example, a Linux box with time kept using ntpd or chrony (perhaps also listening to a PPS signal coming in on a serial port). But I've never seen a computer with a PPS *output*.

Several comments: What level of accuracy do you mean by "synchronized"? Plotting a lightly loaded Linux box, which is extracting time from the network via timesyncd, against a GPS 1PPS signal, I observe typical time excursions within +/- 10 ms, and extreme excursions over a 24 hour period of up

Steve, I'm curious: in the absence of a PPS or other electrical output from your "computer", what is the nature of the time "output "? If it's just visual via a display, why not view the light output of the seconds digit with a photocell. Most of the transitions should produce an

2019-07-08 Thread Steve Summit
This is a different sort of question than what seems to be discussed here usually, and I apologize if it's wholly off-topic, but I'm guessing there are some time nuts here who might be able to give me some pointers. If I have two boxes with clocks that are supposed to be perfectly synchronized,
