Note, if you are using Windows, the time resolution is rather limited (about 16ms, but maybe better with multimedia timers on). If you are close enough to a good time server that you can directly read the time more accurately than the resolution of the Windows clock, it may be better to access it directly, but given the questions you ask, you will need the services of a programmer. Tell them to read the TSC before making the request and subtract off half the change in its value, converted to appropriate units, between the request and the response. Don't use Dimension 4, use the reference implementation of ntpd. As far as I know, Dimension 4 isn't open source, so it will be difficult to work out how it works, but it is not going to be better than the reference implementation, and is probably worse. If you need better than 16ms, you might be able to query a copy of the reference implementation of ntpd, running on the same machine, as that keeps time to better than 16ms, but you would probably be better running a Unix/Free BSD/Linux machine on the same LAN segment. > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
