12 == Deprecation warning
14 This refclock is deprecated and obsolete. The NTPsec maintainers plan
15 to remove it in a future release. If you have a requirement for it,
16 please make this known to us.
18 This driver reports only two-digit years, and is thus reliant on the
19 system clock to be near correct before samples will be processed
20 properly. You will not be able to use it to run autonomously, nor will
21 it reliably recover from a trashed or zeroed system clock.
23 It is likely any surving instances of this hardware will have
24 era-rollover issues when reporting dates. One or more "g" suffixes
25 on your 'time1' option may be useful as a workaround.
29 This driver supports several models of Kinemetrics/TrueTime
30 timing receivers, including GPS- DC MK III and GPS/TM-TMD GPS
31 Synchronized Clock, XL-DC (a 151-602-210, reported by the driver as a
32 GPS/TM-TMD), GPS-800 TCU (an 805-957 with the RS232 Talker/Listener
33 module), and very likely others in the same model families that use
34 the same timecode formats.
36 Most of this code is originally from refclock_wwvb.c (now
37 refclock_spectracom.c) with thanks. It has been so mangled that wwvb is
38 not a recognizable ancestor.
41 Timecode format: ADDD:HH:MM:SSQCL
42 A - control A (this is stripped before we see it)
43 Q - Quality indication (see below)
48 Quality codes indicate possible error of:
50 --------------------------------------------------
52 ? +/- 500 milliseconds # +/- 50 milliseconds
53 * +/- 5 milliseconds . +/- 1 millisecond
54 space less than 1 millisecond
55 --------------------------------------------------
57 In general, an alarm condition is indicated by ? at A, which occurs during
58 initial synchronization and when received signal is lost for an
59 extended period; unlock condition is indicated by other than <SP>
62 == Notes on the TL-3 receiver:
64 The mini-DIN RS-232 port uses the Apple pinout.
66 Send the clock ST1 to turn on continuous (1/s) timecodes. You can
67 also enable "mode C" via the front panel. ST0 turns off this mode.
69 QV will return the firmware revision (and is useful in identifying
72 QW will return its weekly signal log, useful if you're testing
73 antennas. You may wish to turn the loss interval down from 4 h (04) to 1 h
74 (01), so the receiver declares itself unlocked sooner. When in holdover,
75 drift can be on the order of 10 ms/hr since there is no high quality
80 When enabled by the +flag4+ option, every received timecode is
81 written as-is to the +clockstats+ file.
86 The driver unit number, defaulting to 0. Used as a distinguishing
87 suffix in the driver device name.
89 Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction,
90 to be used for the West satellite, with default 0.0.
92 Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction,
93 to be used for the East satellite, with default 0.0.
95 Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default 0.
97 Specifies the driver reference identifier, an ASCII string from one to
98 four characters, with default +TRUE+.
100 Silence the clock side of ntpd, just reading the clock without trying to
