Actually it does a recalibration using the last n samples ( where n is dynamic and grows with stabiltiy and shrinks if the linear fit is not a very good one-- good defined by looking at how often the errors in the linear fit cross zero) It then uses the adjtimex OFFSET single shot adjustment to get rid of the ofset and uses the slope to set the freuency, adjusting the old samples to account for the change in offset and frequency, and keeping track of the offset ajustment in case it was interrupted or did not completely conpensate. >Incidentally, the "else FREQ" doesn't seem to match the code and looks >like it would prevent it ever getting out of the calibration under some >conditions. >It looks like I need to fetch the latest source, although it looks, from >your observations, as though it is still far from what I would consider >right. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
