The claimed accuracy of this clock is 100 ns relative to the PPS output when receiving four or more satellites.</p> 249c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>The receiver should be configured before starting the NTP daemon, in order to establish reliable position and operating conditions. It does not initiate surveying or hold mode. For use with NTP, the daylight savings time feature should be disables (<tt>D0</tt> command) and the broadcast mode set to operate in UTC (<tt>BU</tt> command).</p> 259c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>The timecode format supported by this driver is selected by the poll sequence <tt>B5</tt>, which initiates a line in the following format to be repeated once per second until turned off by the <tt>B0</tt> command.</p> 269c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>Format <tt>B5</tt> (24 ASCII printing characters):</p> 279c2daa00SOllivier Robert<pre><cr><lf>i yy ddd hh:mm:ss.000bbb 289c2daa00SOllivier Robert 299c2daa00SOllivier Roberton-time = <cr> 309c2daa00SOllivier Roberti = synchronization flag (' ' = locked, '?' = unlocked) 319c2daa00SOllivier Robertyy = year of century 329c2daa00SOllivier Robertddd = day of year 339c2daa00SOllivier Roberthh:mm:ss = hours, minutes, seconds 349c2daa00SOllivier Robert.000 = fraction of second (not used) 359c2daa00SOllivier Robertbbb = tailing spaces for fill</pre> 369c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>The alarm condition is indicated by a '?' at i, which indicates the receiver is not synchronized.

The deviation data operates with an external pulse-per-second (PPS) input, such as a cesium oscillator or another radio clock. The PPS input should be connected to the B event channel and the radio initialized for deviation data on that channel. The deviation data consists of the mean offset and standard deviation of the external PPS signal relative the GPS signal, both in microseconds over the last 16 seconds.</p> 619c2daa00SOllivier Robert<h4>Fudge Factors</h4> 629c2daa00SOllivier Robert<dl> 63*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>time1 <i>time</i></tt></dt> 64*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction, with default 0.0.</dd> 65*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>time2 <i>time</i></tt></dt> 66*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Not used by this driver.</dd> 67*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>stratum <i>number</i></tt></dt> 68*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default 0.</dd> 69*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>refid <i>string</i></tt></dt> 70*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Specifies the driver reference identifier, an ASCII string from one to four characters, with default <tt>GPS</tt>.</dd> 71*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>flag1 0 | 1</tt></dt> 72*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Not used by this driver.</dd> 73*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>flag2 0 | 1</tt></dt> 74*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Not used by this driver.</dd> 75*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>flag3 0 | 1</tt></dt> 76*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Not used by this driver.</dd> 77*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dt><tt>flag4 0 | 1</tt></dt> 78*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert <dd>Enable verbose <tt>clockstats</tt> recording if set.</dd> 799c2daa00SOllivier Robert</dl> 809c2daa00SOllivier Robert<h4>Additional Information</h4> 819c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p><a href="../refclock.html">Reference Clock Drivers</a></p> 829c2daa00SOllivier Robert<hr> 83ea906c41SOllivier Robert<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts/footer.txt"></script> 849c2daa00SOllivier Robert</body> 859c2daa00SOllivier Robert</html> 86
