I believe the NIST hardware expects echo to be enabled and expects the transmit and receive delays to be the same. In that case it adjusts the timing of the OTM (on-time mark) so that when the OTM changes from * to # the timing of that OTM compensates for the delay correction. At least, that used to be the case. See http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/acts.cfm Yes, there will still be limits to this technology, but it's not as bad as one might originally think.
