Okay. My whole understanding of NTP and Clocks is now
becoming clearer. My apologies, I'm still a n00b.
So what you are saying is the GPS time via the SureGPS
device is now being ignored and the time of my machine is
now being held in check by the PPS signal? If yes, does
that mean seeing "oGPS_NMEA" is better than seeing
"*GPS_NMEA"?
The second number comes from the NMEA, the edge from the PPS, and hence
"o".
Since I can't find any docs on deciphering the ntpq output,
I'm trying to understand what the symbols next to each
entry represent. Some I've found, but maybe you could
correct me:
o = ???
* = ??? (My Assumption: preferred time server)
x = ??? (My Assumption: False Tick - Bad Time)
+ = ??? (My Assumption: Next Best Server for Time)
- = ??? (My Assumption: Ignore this useless server)
** Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to educate myself on being
a
time master too. :)
You will find the tally codes listed here, Alby:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/decode.html#peer
as Select Field. I got that from Google, entering ""ntp billboard fields"
and finding the page:
