In order for you to find a sample that might be similar to a clock you might want to integrate into parse i'll sum up the major features of the clocks (this information is distributed in the parse/clk_*.c and ntpd/refclock_parse.c files).</p> 14 <hr> 15 <h4>Meinberg clocks</h4> 16 <pre> 17Meinberg: start=<STX>, end=<ETX>, sync on start 18 pattern="\2D: . . ;T: ;U: . . ; \3" 19 pattern="\2 . . ; ; : : ; \3" 20 pattern="\2 . . ; ; : : ; : ; ; . . " 21</pre> 22 <p>Meinberg is a German manufacturer of time code receivers. Those clocks have a pretty common output format in the stock version. In order to support NTP Meinberg was so kind to produce some special versions of the firmware for the use with NTP. So, if you are going to use a Meinberg clock please ask whether there is a special Uni Erlangen version. You can reach <a href="http://www.meinberg.de/">Meinberg</a> via the Web. Information can also be ordered via eMail from <a href="mailto:%20info@meinberg.de">info@meinberg.de</a></p> 23 <p>General characteristics:<br> 24 Meinberg clocks primarily output pulse per second and a describing ASCII string. This string can be produced in two modes. either upon the reception of a question mark or every second. NTP uses the latter mechanism. The DCF77 variants have a pretty good relationship between RS232 time code and the PPS signal while the GPS receiver has no fixed timeing between the datagram and the pulse (you need to use PPS with GPS!) on DCF77 you might get away without the PPS signal.</p> 25 <p>The preferred tty setting for Meinberg is:</p> 26 <pre> 27 CFLAG (B9600|CS7|PARENB|CREAD|HUPCL) 28 IFLAG (IGNBRK|IGNPAR|ISTRIP) 29 OFLAG 0 30 LFLAG 0 31 </pre> 32 <p>The tty setting for Meinberg GPS 166/167 receivers is:</p> 33 <pre> 34 CFLAG (B19200|CS8|PARENB|CREAD|HUPCL) 35 IFLAG (IGNBRK|IGNPAR|ISTRIP) 36 OFLAG 0 37 LFLAG 0 38 </pre> 39 <p>The clock is run at datagram once per second.
