Glad the stats were of some help, and glad to have had the chat.
ages ago I needed to timestamp large datasets from a spectrometer rushing in at 50 .. 100 Sample Sets/s. ( on SYSVR3.5 on a MVME167 System ) One way would have been to sync the system via DCF77 and ntp or similar. This would have presented a significant porting effort. My solution was to sample a GPIO pin attached to the DCF77 signal and insert this information together with the freerunning system uptime variable into my data sets. A utility later extracted the DCF time and synced it to the uptime counter. The only hard requirement was for the uptimecounter to be shortime stable. uwe _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
