Dave, How do I adjust the loop time constant so that it is shorter?? The integral component should be retained. The effect of having too long a loop time constant should be that the system fails to track clock wander, so would be more vulnerable to temperature changes or forgetting to

Edward, The loop time constant varies directly with the poll interval. See How NTP Works in the current documentation. Note that the default value and range are purposely optimized for public time servers in order to manage network overhead and are not appropriate for the most accurate LAN
