You can mark the NMEA source as noselect and still lock the PPS source to it. The PPS samples will be ignored when NMEA is off by more than 0.2 seconds, but according to your graphs that shouldn't happen very often. > The three attached plots are: > 4hr_offsets: Hours 0-4, offsets straight from statistics.log > 4hr_offsets_PPSadjusted: Hours 0-4, adjusted offsets assuming PPS was always > 0 and using the most recent PPS value to adjust the actual offset in > statistics.log > Syncsource_PPSadjusted: Hours 2-4, same data as PPSadjusted but with > background highlighted according to active sync source from tracking.log Nice graphs! > I have the full console output as well with debugging enabled and am trying > to figure out how best to parse and analyze it.

Do they all have the same sync and dist value? Could you please attach corresponding parts of the tracking, refclock and statistics logs around the time when the PPS source is dropped? > and not line 440 like they were on the previous run: > refclock.c:440:(RCL_AddPulse)[26-18:03:56] refclock pulse ignored > offdiff=-0.313099609 refdisp=0.041061551 disp=0.022734546 They are ignored in a different place because the lock option wasn't used this time. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
