As long as the Thunderbolt is working perfectly it's built in error checking will work fine. This should be obvious as anything that works, works.
But I can think of plenty for failure modes where the built in error checking might not work. First off there could be a software or firmware bug or a stuck bit in a ROM. An open conecton on a DAC, lots of things. The assumption has to be the "broken hardware is totally unpredictable" We can not know in advance what it will do after it breaks. I'm not saying the built-in diagnostics are useless, just that they are never 100% reliable On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 2:18 PM, ws at Yahoo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Simple way is to use LadyHeather. > From its output, you can tell if either or both are working correctly as > well as how well they are working. > That is assuming of course that there is at least one working GPS satellite > in view at all times. > If not it well tell you that also. > Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
