 No GPS NMEA should not do that. The length of the sentence is almost fixed 
 length, so the timing on it should vary by perhaps a few msec, as you found, 
 certainly not by seconds. It sounds like you have troubles. 
 
 You could try using minicom ( assuming you are on Linux) to look at the output
 on the serial port.

PPS is tied to DCD. So online is off 90 % of the time.
With the following circuit you can configure the GPS receiver;

Garmin  Minicom

MaleFemale
9P  25P

RXD-RXD 23

TXD-TXD 32

GND-GND 57

   +-DCD18
   |
   *-DTR4   20
   |
   +-DSR66

   +-CTS75
   |
   +-RTS84

SH--SH

 The GPS sentence should certainly be able to pull you into the second range
 very easily.
 Anyway use some serial port terminal program to read what the gps is sending 
 and how often. 
 (Remember at 4800Bd, it takes about 2 msec to send each character.

My Garmin was sending to much data, sending a NMEA sentence once per 
second. So I put '$PGRMO,,4CRLF' in a file and send it to the Garmin.
Now it's at six lines per second; GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA and three GPGSV 
lines (plus one PGRMT per minute).

Sorry, once per two seconds.

 Select one and turn the rest off.

For just time GPRMC will do.

David,

 Hi Dave,

 We can argue about the Hurst parameter, which can't be truly random-walk
 as I have assumed, but the approximation is valid up to lag times of at
 least a week. However, as I have been cautioned, these plots are really
 sensitive to spectral lines due to nonuniform sampling. I was very
 careful to avoid such things.


 Do you have a cite for that?

 Have you seen Vit Klemes take on tree ring data:

 It might appeal to your sense of humour.

 Unruh,


 It would seem self evident from the equations that minimizing the 
 delay variance truly does minimize the offset variance. Further 
 evidence of that is in the raw versus filtered offset graphs in the

 variance by some 10 dB. More to the point, emphasis added, the wedge 
 scattergrams show just 


 I guess then I am confused because my data does not support that. 
 While the
 delay variance IS reduced, the offset variance is not. The correleation
 between dely and offset IS reduced by a factor of 10, but the clock
 variance is reduced not at all.
 Here are the results from one day gathered brom one clock (I had ntp not

 I do not know your network configuration at all, so I am just guessing,
 but My guess is that you are talking about a client connected on the
 same subnet with one or more servers, right? Connected by ethernet?
 
 In that case, you are talking about a situation where the error
 introduced by factors that increase in correlation with the round
 trip time is minimal at best. When they do kick in, you see what
 looks like huge jumps and filter them. A 4ms increase is just what
 you would expect when ethernet timers kick in. Now imagine a RTT of
 60-70ms. A 9ms delay from a collision introduces a 4ms change in the
 delay value and a 2ms change in the offset, but with a delay might not
 perturb the delay value enough to make it obviously an outlyer.
 

I can imagine an RTT of 60-70ms.  What I have difficulty imagining is 
using such a source to synch with.  Maybe I'm just lucky but I can 
usually find servers with an RTT of 20ms or less, usually less!

Beste klant,

Telenet heeft een migratie gedaan van haar nieuwsservers. 

Wat betekent dit concreet voor jou als gebruiker?

Er verandert niets aan de service, maar om verder gebruik te maken van de
