There are 2 modes of PPS. ntpq -p doesn't show the difference. The normal mode is that ntpd processes each PPS pulse as a data point, just like a data point from a packet exchange with a NTP server. (Not quite, there is an extra level of filtering, but close enough.) The second mode is that the kernel does everything after ntpd turns on a bit. It's a kernel option. Most distros don't include it - it conflicts with a scheduler option that saves power. (aka you have to build your own kernel) Those slots get filled in when the kernel mode is running. pll offset: 0 pll frequency: -28.451 maximum error: 0.1055 estimated error: 3e-06 kernel status: pll ppsfreq ppstime ppssignal nano pll time constant: 6 precision: 1e-06 frequency tolerance: 500 pps frequency: -28.451 pps stability: 0.012085 pps jitter: 0.007 calibration interval 256 calibration cycles: 1020 jitter exceeded: 13 stability exceeded: 0 calibration errors: 0 -- These are my opinions.
