What problem are you trying to solve?

I want to calibrate the system clock on a number of embedded systems. To measure the frequeny error, I'm looking for a method that only takes a few hours.

I'd prefer to use the frequency value that ntpd writes into the drift file but my test (see URL above) showed too slow a convergence. I have to add, I ran the test without the "iburst" server option so updating to a new ntpd version that supports "iburst" will speed things up.


If you want to make a one-time correction to your clock frequency, 500 ms/day may be a reasonable objective.

It's good to have this recommendation. So 6 PPM is the goal I should strive for.


Cheers
Daniel
