Hi All. As people on here seem to know about all this, a question if I may.
This came up while in discussion with another party, in regards to potential "steps" in time caused by allowing w32time to do the job, instead of a custom app, or "feature" in yet another program. What I'd like to ask, is how does w32time manipulate the local PC's clock. Does it just set the updated time into the system at each poll (about 8 in 18 hours the last time I looked) Or does it tweak the tick rate, to bring the local clock behaviour into line with the reference source (in this case, a GPS/PPS derrived local NTP server) elsewhere on the LAN (one switch away.) Or, a combination of the above. Are there known differences between the different versions of Windows? (2k, XP, Vista, 7 etc) Cheers All. Dave B.
