This sounds like a new project/kit... a TOD clock. Simple... monitor
heartbeat (easy enough and I know it's not the only thing involved but if it
stops... so do you usually... but KISS should be kept in mind for this or it
gets WAY to complicated). Heartbeat and PPS... with GPS and/or/with a small
Rb standard... Ticker stops ticking... *timestamp*! There we go. So,
who's going to do the TOD kit? I'd prefer something very small and not
obvious (like a watch that simply STOPS with a micro USB port to download
the *accurate/precise* time stamp of TOD). Easy enough?
Yes, I'm infected but probably worse than most. If you've seen my list of
gear and know that I don't even had the TBolt running yet (and have only
powered up one of my Rb standards... and have a LOT of "kits" to build....
etc.) you'd probably ALL place my TOD pretty quickly. ;)

One can only hope that the local coroner is also a Time-Nut, so that time
of death can be determined with suitable accuracy and precision. Does
anybody know how many bits of precision are used on tombstones these
days?
The true report would not be correct without a traceability certificate
and confidence interval for the TOD indication, motivated by the
measurement inaccurancies and established TDEV measures.
Naturally the next of kin doesn't really care, as they now can dump all
the junk collected in the basement. The real mourning of the deceased from
fellow time-nuts comes when they realize just how much of precious gear
has been lost forever.
Cheers,
Magnus
